Abu Simbel Temple Tour from Aswan

Abu Simbel Temple is a true marvel of ancient Egyptian architecture and a testament to the power and glory of Pharaoh Ramesses II. To ensure an intimate and serene experience, our day tour begins at 3 AM, with our rep picking you up from your hotel or cruise, allowing you to witness the temple complex at its most tranquil and atmospheric. We will provide you with the necessary transportation from Aswan to Abu Simbel, taking care of all the logistical details so you can focus on immersing yourself in the awe-inspiring surroundings.

Getting an Early Start

The early morning departure time is intentional, as it allows you to reach Abu Simbel before the larger crowds and the scorching heat of the day. As you make your way toward the temple complex, the darkness will gradually give way to a breathtaking sunrise, painting the sky with hues of pink, orange, and gold. This magical experience sets the tone for the wonders that await you.

Exploring the Temple Complex

Upon arrival at Abu Simbel, you will be greeted by the colossal statues guarding the entrance of the main temple. These statues, standing at a height of over 20 meters, depict the mighty Pharaoh Ramesses II himself. They serve as a reminder of his power and the significance of the temple as a symbol of his reign. As you step inside the temple, you’ll find yourself surrounded by intricate carvings, vibrant colors, and captivating hieroglyphics. The inner sanctum houses four massive statues of gods, including the sun god Ra-Horakhty and the deified version of Ramesses II himself. Marvel at the architectural precision that allowed the ancient Egyptians to align the temple in such a way that the sun’s rays illuminate the inner sanctum twice a year during the pharaoh’s birthday and coronation anniversary.

The Enchanting Temple of Nefertari

Adjacent to the main temple, you’ll discover the smaller yet equally enchanting Temple of Nefertari. Dedicated to Ramesses II’s beloved wife, Queen Nefertari, this temple stands as a testament to their eternal love. The façade of the temple features statues of the pharaoh and his queen, depicting them as equals in power and devotion. Step inside to witness the beautifully preserved wall paintings and reliefs that depict scenes from their extraordinary lives.
