From Aswan: Abu Simbel Temple Day Trip with Hotel Pickup

Discover the Luxor Aswan Abu — an extraordinary adventure designed to bring you the authentic beauty, rich history, and timeless magic of Egypt with expert local guidance.

Journey to one of Egypt’s most spectacular ancient monuments on this full-day Abu Simbel day trip from Aswan. Marvel at the colossal temples of Ramesses II and Queen Nefertari, carved directly into the mountainside over 3,200 years ago and rescued from the rising waters of Lake Nasser in one of history’s greatest engineering achievements.

Your Abu Simbel day trip from Aswan begins with an early morning hotel pickup before embarking on a scenic drive through the Nubian Desert alongside the shores of Lake Nasser. Upon arrival at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, your expert English-speaking guide will lead you through the magnificent Great Temple of Ramesses II, guarded by four colossal statues of the pharaoh standing 20 meters tall.

Inside the temple, you’ll discover breathtaking wall paintings and hieroglyphics depicting the famous Battle of Kadesh — one of the earliest recorded battles in history. Your guide will explain the remarkable story of how these temples were relocated block by block in the 1960s to save them from the rising waters of the Aswan High Dam.

The nearby Temple of Hathor, dedicated to Queen Nefertari, is equally impressive and offers a fascinating insight into the important role of royal women in ancient Egyptian society.

This Abu Simbel tour is perfect for UK, German, and American tourists seeking to experience one of Egypt’s most remote and awe-inspiring ancient wonders — a site that truly cannot be missed on any Egypt itinerary.
