Private Abu Simbel Day Tour from Aswan by Flight
Your seamless journey begins with a morning pickup directly from your hotel lobby or Nile cruise ship in Aswan. Our representative will escort you via a private, air-conditioned vehicle to Aswan International Airport, where you will board your short domestic flight to Abu Simbel.
Upon arrival at Abu Simbel Airport, your professional local expert tour guide will greet you and drive you to the nearby archaeological complex. Stand in awe before the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Temple of Queen Nefertari. These world heritage monuments were entirely carved out of the mountain face in the 13th century BC, but by 1813, they lay almost completely buried by shifting desert sands. Your guide will walk you through the temples' incredible history, including the miraculous 1960s UNESCO rescue project that relocated both structures to higher ground to protect them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.
Inside the Great Temple, admire the intricate reliefs depicting Ramesses II’s famous victory at the Battle of Kadesh. Just to the north, explore the elegant temple built to honor his favorite wife, Queen Nefertari, dedicated to the goddess Hathor. After a spectacular morning of exploration, you will be transferred back to the airport for your return flight to Aswan, followed by a private drive back to your hotel or cruise ship.
