Experience the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Abu Simbel temples, two of Egypt’s most iconic ancient monuments, on a full-day tour from Aswan. Marvel at the colossal statues and intricate carvings of the Great Sun Temple of Ramses II and the beautifully preserved Temple of Queen Nefertari—a rare tribute to the pharaoh’s favourite wife.
Originally discovered buried in sand in the early 19th century, these temples were carefully relocated in the 1960s to protect them from flooding caused by the Aswan High Dam. Today, they stand proudly on the banks of Lake Nasser, offering a glimpse into Egypt’s rich history and architectural genius.
During the tour, you’ll be guided by a professional Egyptologist who will share fascinating stories and insights about the temples, their construction, and the incredible efforts to preserve them. This is a must-see for history enthusiasts and travellers seeking a memorable cultural experience in Upper Egypt.
