  Itinerary


  1. Step 1

    Step 1 An Epic Journey to Abu Simbel's Colossal Temples Your adventure begins very early in the morning with a private pickup directly from your hotel in Luxor. This early start is essential to ensure you have ample time to travel, explore, and return in a single day. You'll settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle for the long drive. While the journey is approximately 7 hours each way, this is far from a regular bus ride. You'll travel in a private vehicle, allowing for a relaxed pace as you watch the desert scenery unfold. The journey itself becomes part of the experience as you travel through the vast landscape to reach the heart of ancient Nubia. Upon your arrival at the temple complex, your private tour guide will be waiting for you there, ready to bring the history to life. You'll begin your exploration with the most famous of the monuments: the Great Temple of Ramses II. You will be awestruck by the four colossal statues of the pharaoh guarding the entrance, each over 20 meters tall. Your guide will explain the fascinating history of the temple's construction and its famous solar alignment, where the sun's rays penetrate the sanctuary on specific dates each year. This is a rare chance to see one of the world’s most spectacular archaeological sites up close on a dedicated excursion. In addition to the main temple, your private Abu Simbel tour also includes a visit to the smaller but equally beautiful Temple of Queen Nefertari, dedicated to Ramses II’s beloved wife. Your guide will highlight the temple’s unique features, including the rare sight of the queen’s statues being the same size as the pharaoh’s, a symbol of their immense love and her high status. You'll also learn about the remarkable UNESCO project that saved these temples from the rising waters of the Aswan High Dam. The entire complex was carefully dismantled and moved to higher ground, a feat of modern engineering that perfectly preserved this ancient heritage for future generations. Your tour will last for approximately two hours, providing ample time to explore and take photos.
