Embark on an unforgettable private overland journey from Aswan to the monumental temples of Abu Simbel, carved into the solid rock cliffs by King Ramses II.

Overview

Travel deep into the Nubian desert to witness Egypt's most awe-inspiring architectural achievement: the Sun Temples of Abu Simbel. This private expedition begins with an early morning drive from Aswan in a premium, climate-controlled vehicle. Upon arrival, you will stand in awe before the four colossal statues of Ramses II guarding the Great Temple, and the adjacent temple dedicated to his beloved Queen Nefertari. Your expert Egyptologist guide will reveal the fascinating history of the temples, their astrological alignment, and the extraordinary UNESCO salvage operation that moved the entire complex to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. After exploring the temples, return to Aswan where a relaxing traditional lunch awaits you.
