Highlights of the Trip

1. Abu Simbel Temples

A visit to Abu Simbel is like stepping back in time. The site features two massive rock-cut temples built by Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BC. Known for their incredible size and intricate carvings, these temples are a testament to ancient Egyptian engineering and artistry. The most famous feature is the Great Temple, where four colossal statues of Ramses II greet visitors. The temples’ relocation in the 1960s, due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam, is an engineering marvel worth witnessing firsthand.

2. Aswan and the Nile River

After visiting Abu Simbel, the journey continues to Aswan, a charming city situated on the banks of the Nile River. Aswan is known for its beautiful scenery, the Aswan High Dam, and the Philae Temple dedicated to the goddess Isis. The city offers a tranquil atmosphere, with options to take boat cruises on the Nile or explore bustling markets selling traditional handicrafts.


What to Expect During the Overnight Trip

The journey to Abu Simbel involves a scenic drive across the desert, offering stunning views of the Egyptian landscape. Once at Abu Simbel, visitors can explore the temples, learn about their history, and enjoy the spectacular sunrise or sunset, which enhances the site’s majestic aura.

After an overnight stay in Aswan, travelers can visit the Aswan High Dam and the beautiful Philae Temple, often with optional boat trips to the Nubian villages. Many tours include a visit to a traditional Nubian house, providing insight into local culture.
