On this day trip, we'll visit the astonishing temples of Abu Simbel, the only monuments in Egypt that can hold a candle to the grandiosity of the three pyramids of Giza.

Day Trip Details

The tour leaves from Aswan at the time indicated. We'll pick you up at your hotel or the boat where you're staying. It's worth the early morning to arrive at the temples first thing in the morning and to avoid the suffocating heat of the midday sun. Plus, on the way, you can enjoy the unique experience of sunrise in the desert!

After 3 hours, we'll arrive at Abu Simbel, the famous complex made up of two temples excavated in the rock, one dedicated to Ramses II and the other to Nefertari, his favourite wife. The complex took 20 years to build and was made under the stewardship of Ramses II. Today they are fantastically preserved, being buried beneath the sand until the 19th century and thus protected from the elements.

Our guided tour will take around 1 hour, enough time to discover every corner of both temples and learn all of their stories and anecdotes. We'll learn how they came to be moved and what Egypt did in return for international help in doing so.

Having enjoyed our time in this jewel of Egypt, we'll return to Aswan, arriving after between 7 and 8 hours.

Pickup Info

This activity includes pickup from hotels, hostels and apartments in the city of Aswan.

However, if your hotel or boat is located at one of the following islands in Aswan, we'll pick you up from the following meeting points:

  • For accommodation on Aswan Island West (Gharb Aswan): we'll pick you up from the Ferry Terminal in West Bank.

  • For accommodation on Suhil Island (Guizirit Suhil): we'll pick you up from the Ferry Terminal in West Bank.
