  Itinerary


  1. Day 1:

    Day 1: The Treasures of Aswan Your adventure begins with a 5:00 AM pickup directly from your hotel in Hurghada. You'll travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, enjoying a scenic 4.5-hour drive through the vast Eastern Desert before arriving in Aswan—the gateway to Nubia. Your private Egyptologist guide will be with you every step of the way, providing expert insights into the history and significance of each site. Your first stop is the breathtaking Philae Temple, a stunning island sanctuary that you'll reach by a short boat ride. You'll marvel at the magnificent Temple of Isis, which was carefully dismantled and relocated stone-by-stone by UNESCO to save it from the rising Nile waters. The temple's exquisite Ptolemaic and Roman-era carvings tell fascinating stories from ancient Egyptian religion. Next, you will visit the ancient granite quarries to see the famous Unfinished Obelisk. Here, you'll gain a unique insight into the incredible craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian stonecutters. You can still see the ancient tools and techniques etched into the bedrock of what would have been Egypt's largest obelisk, a massive 42 meters in height. Your guide will explain why this ambitious project was ultimately abandoned. Your journey then takes you to the Aswan High Dam, a modern engineering marvel. You'll learn about its construction using 43 million cubic meters of material and its crucial role in creating Lake Nasser, the world's largest artificial lake. After a delicious lunch featuring authentic Egyptian cuisine at a local restaurant, you will check into your Aswan hotel for the night, resting up for the highlight of this impressive tour from Hurghada.


  2. Day 2:

    Day 2: Sunrise at Abu Simbel The second day of your trip begins with an early 4:00 AM departure to ensure you witness the colossal temples of Abu Simbel in the cooler morning temperatures and as the sun rises. This early start on your Abu Simbel tour is essential for experiencing the temples at their most magical and for avoiding the midday heat. Upon arrival, you'll stand in awe before the Great Temple of Ramses II. Guarding the entrance are four massive, 20-meter tall statues of the pharaoh himself. Your guide will highlight the temple's famous solar alignment, where the sun's rays penetrate the sanctuary on February 22nd and October 22nd. You’ll also see detailed battle reliefs honoring Ramses's victories. Just a short walk away is the smaller but equally impressive Temple of Queen Nefertari, dedicated to Ramses II's beloved wife. This sanctuary is unique because its statues show the queen and the pharaoh as equals, a rare sight in ancient Egyptian art, and is adorned with beautiful carvings celebrating their romantic bond. Your guide will tell you about the incredible UNESCO achievement of moving the entire complex to its higher ground between 1964 and 1968, ensuring the solar alignment was perfectly preserved. It remains one of history's most ambitious heritage rescues. The return journey will begin at 9:00 AM, with lunch in Aswan before the final drive back to Hurghada. You will arrive back at your hotel by evening, filled with unforgettable memories from your incredible private Abu Simbel tour from Hurghada.

Day 1: The Journey to Aswan & a Nile Sunset

Your adventure begins early in the morning with a pickup from your Hurghada hotel. You’ll travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, ensuring a comfortable and relaxed journey as you make your way towards Aswan. This scenic drive is the first step on your two-day tour, setting the stage for the incredible monuments to come. Upon arrival in Aswan, you will meet your private Egyptologist guide who will provide fascinating context for every site. The first stop is the Aswan High Dam, a modern engineering marvel that tamed the Nile’s annual floods. Your guide will explain its crucial role in Egypt’s development and highlight the stunning views of Lake Nasser from its top.

After exploring the dam, you’ll take a short, picturesque boat ride to Agilkia Island, the new home of the breathtaking Philae Temple. This beautiful sanctuary, dedicated to the goddess Isis, was painstakingly relocated by UNESCO to save it from the rising waters of the dam. You’ll be able to wander through the temple grounds, marveling at the intricate carvings and beautiful reliefs that tell ancient myths. As the day draws to a close, you’ll enjoy a serene and peaceful felucca sail on the Nile at sunset. This relaxing experience offers a chance to see Aswan from a different perspective and soak in the tranquil beauty of the river. Finally, you will check into your Aswan hotel for the night, ready for tomorrow’s early start on this incredible Abu Simbel tour from Hurghada.

Day 2: Sunrise at Abu Simbel’s Colossal Temples

The second day of your journey is the highlight of this entire excursion. You’ll depart very early in the morning to make the journey to Abu Simbel, ensuring you arrive just in time to witness one of the most magical sights in Egypt: sunrise over the two colossal temples. Your guide will lead you to the Great Temple of Ramses II, where you’ll stand in awe of the four massive, 20-meter tall statues of the pharaoh guarding the entrance. You’ll learn about the incredible solar alignment phenomenon and the detailed battle reliefs honoring Ramses’ victories.

Just next door, you’ll visit the smaller but equally impressive Temple of Nefertari, dedicated to Ramses II’s beloved queen. This temple is unique for its exquisite facade, which features statues of the queen of equal size to those of the king, a rare symbol of their love and her status. Your guide will also explain the remarkable UNESCO project that saw both temples cut into blocks and moved to higher ground to save them from flooding—a monumental feat of modern engineering and a testament to the world’s dedication to preserving history. After soaking in the grandeur and history of these magnificent temples, you will begin your return journey, arriving back in Hurghada in the evening, with memories of an unforgettable 2-Day Abu Simbel tour.
