Abu Simbel Tour from Luxor

Upon arrival, you’ll be guided through the temples of Abu Simbel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that showcases the grandeur of Pharaoh Ramses II. Carved directly into the mountainside in the 13th century BC, these awe-inspiring temples were relocated in the 1960s to save them from flooding during the construction of the Aswan High Dam. You’ll explore both the Great Temple of Ramses II and the smaller but equally impressive Temple of Queen Nefertari, featuring stunning carvings, statues, and astronomical alignment with the sun.

Your guide will share insights into the history, mythology, and architectural mastery behind these remarkable sites. After exploring the temples, enjoy free time for photography or a snack (not included), before continuing your journey to Aswan.

This tour is ideal for those who wish to maximize their time in Egypt, efficiently connecting Luxor and Aswan while visiting one of the country’s most spectacular sites along the way.
