Fast track your journey and take the quick route to see the magnificent temples of Abu Simbel on an air tour from Aswan. With a qualified Egyptologist as your guide (fully guided or part guided depending on option selected), this private tour provides the most personalized visit to Abu Simbel, in the shortest time possible.
Pickup included
On the short walk to the temple entrances, your guide will explain the site's history, including details of the UNESCO-led relocation of the entire cliff face to higher ground. Due to the large number of visitors to Abu Simbel, guides are not permitted inside either the Great Temple of Ramses II or the smaller Temple of Hathor. However, by using photos and illustrations, your guide will explain to you the structures & their interior artworks. You will then have free time to enter the temples and explore them. As one of the few ancient Egyptian sites which largely escaped damage by past invaders, the interiors of Abu Simbel's temples are astounding. The scale of the buildings & their detailed decoration leaves most visitors in awe. The temples' attraction is further enhanced by their scenic location on Lake Nasser's edge in the desert's orange sands. There may be time for a short visit to the small visitor's center which documents the UNESCO relocation project.
