  Itinerary


  1. Day 1:

    Day 1: From Marsa Alam to Aswan's Ancient Wonders Your adventure begins with an early pickup at 4:00 AM from your hotel in either Hurghada or Port Ghalib. You’ll travel in a comfortable, private vehicle to Aswan, following the scenic route through Safaga, Qena, and Luxor. The journey takes approximately 8 hours, offering you a chance to relax and enjoy the Egyptian landscape before arriving in the historic city of Aswan. Upon arrival, your first stop is the impressive Aswan High Dam, a modern marvel of engineering that has profoundly shaped the Nile River. From there, you will visit the enchanting Philae Temple, a beautiful structure dedicated to the goddess Isis. It was the last temple built in the classical Egyptian style and was carefully moved to its current location to save it from the rising waters of the dam. Next, you will explore the Unfinished Obelisk in the northern quarries. This monumental stone provides valuable insight into the techniques used by ancient Egyptians to create these massive structures. In the afternoon, you will experience the tranquility of the Nile with a traditional felucca sailing trip. As an optional addition, you can choose to visit a vibrant Nubian Village. This colorful and authentic community offers a wonderful glimpse into Nubian culture and is a unique way to spend a couple of hours.


  2. Day 2:

    Day 2: The Magnificent Temples of Abu Simbel The second day starts with an early 4:00 AM pickup from your Aswan hotel. You’ll travel by air-conditioned vehicle for a scenic 3-hour drive to the legendary temples of Abu Simbel. This early start ensures you arrive before the intense midday heat. Upon arrival, an expert Egyptologist will guide you through the two iconic temples carved directly into a mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC. You will stand in awe before the Great Temple to Ramesses II, which features four colossal statues of the pharaoh seated on his throne. This temple, though officially dedicated to Amon-Re Horakhty and Ptah, was primarily built to celebrate the glory of Ramesses the Great himself. Next, you will visit the smaller but equally beautiful temple dedicated to Ramesses' beloved wife, Queen Nefertari. The façade of this temple is adorned with impressive rock-cut carvings of the pharaoh and his queen. After your exploration, you will re-board your vehicle at 9:00 AM for the return journey to Aswan. Lunch will be served in Aswan before you begin the final leg of your trip, driving back to Marsa Alam via the route through Aswan, Luxor, and Qena. This comprehensive tour provides a perfect blend of history, culture, and unforgettable sights.

Discovering Aswan’s Treasures on Your Abu Simbel Tour

Our journey begins in Aswan, a city rich with historical marvels. We will visit the magnificent Philae Temple, a breathtaking structure dedicated to the goddess Isis. It was relocated to its current island home to save it from the rising waters of the Aswan Dam. Next, we’ll explore the Unfinished Obelisk, an incredible monument that provides a fascinating glimpse into ancient Egyptian stone-working techniques. Standing at its base, you can truly appreciate the ambition and scale of these projects. Finally, we’ll drive to the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel that has had a profound impact on Egypt. These sites offer a powerful introduction to the ingenuity of both ancient and modern Egyptians.

Why You’ll Fall in Love with this Trip

This Abu Simbel tour is more than just a sightseeing trip; it’s an immersive experience. You’ll not only witness the grandeur of the temples but also feel a deep connection to the history behind them. As the sun sets, we’ll enjoy a serene felucca sailing trip on the Nile, providing a peaceful escape and a new perspective on the landscape. The tranquility of the river, combined with the anticipation of what’s to come, creates a truly magical atmosphere. The climax of the journey, of course, is the visit to the incredible Abu Simbel temples, a site that has to be seen to be believed.

The Grand Finale: Abu Simbel’s Enduring Legacy

The highlight of the tour is a visit to the awe-inspiring temples of Abu Simbel. These twin temples, carved directly into a mountainside, are a testament to the power and ego of Pharaoh Ramesses II. The sheer scale and intricate detail of the main temple, with its four colossal statues of the pharaoh, will leave you speechless. Similarly, the smaller temple, dedicated to his beloved queen Nefertari, is an equally impressive sight. Subsequently, the history of their relocation in the 1960s to protect them from the dam’s waters is a remarkable story of international cooperation and human determination. This incredible achievement makes the Abu Simbel tour from Marsa Alam an even more special and meaningful journey.
