The tour’s highlight is a visit to the Abu Simbel temples, carved out of rock around 1300 B.C. and dedicated to King Ramesses II and Queen Nefertari. Guests are picked up between 4:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. from Aswan in a modern air-conditioned vehicle. The drive takes about three hours across the Sahara Desert, including a stop at a desert camp for a break. Upon arrival at Abu Simbel, a professional Egyptologist guide provides detailed stories about the temples’ history, their construction, and the 1964 relocation project that saved them from flooding caused by Lake Nasser. This private day trip lasts around 8 to 10 hours. The package includes private transportation with a professional driver, an Egyptologist guide, bottled water, snacks, all relevant fees and taxes, and in-vehicle air conditioning. A baby seat is available on request. Entrance fees to the temples and tipping are not included.
