Amazing Full Day Guided Tour of Abu Simbel from Aswan by Bus

Overview of the tour in Aswan

To make the most of your trip to Abu Simbel, it's recommended to wake up early and arrange a breakfast box from your hotel. Meet your guide at the hotel reception to kickstart your adventure.

Abu Simbel is home to two remarkable temples constructed by Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great, during his reign from 1279 to 1213 BC. Situated at the southern frontier of ancient Egypt, facing Nubia, these temples hold immense historical and cultural significance.

The Great Temple, dedicated to Amun, Re-Horakhty, Ptah, and Ramses II himself as a deity, stands as an architectural marvel. The smaller temple is devoted to the goddess Hathor and Ramses II's beloved queen, Nefertari.

The Great Temple is also renowned for its sun miracle. On February 22nd and October 22nd, sunlight penetrates the sanctuary, casting a luminous glow on the wall statues, except for the statue of Ptah. This natural phenomenon is a sight to behold and has fascinated scholars throughout history.

Then, go back to your bus to Return to Aswan. Our Driver will drop you off at your hotel in Aswan after your unforgettable experience.
