Set off on a full-day private journey from Aswan to one of Egypt’s most breathtaking ancient sites — the Abu Simbel Temples. Travel comfortably through the desert landscape near Lake Nasser as you make your way to these monumental rock-cut temples built over 3,000 years ago.
Once there, you’ll explore the grandeur of Ramses II’s Great Temple and the beautifully preserved Temple of Hathor dedicated to Queen Nefertari. With your Egyptologist guide, uncover the fascinating history, symbolism, and the incredible story of how the temples were relocated to save them from flooding.
