On this trip to Abu Simbel, we'll visit the temples of Ramses II and Nefertari without the early wake-up call. Plus, at night, we'll get to see the famous light and sound show. It's definitely the best way to go if you have some extra time in Aswan!
2-Day Tour Details
Day 1: Aswan - Abu Simbel
Having picked you up at your hotel, we'll leave Aswan heading southwards. Once we arrive at the banks of Lake Nasser, we'll take a guided tour of Abu Simbel. During our tour of this well-known architectural site, we'll see the Great Temple of Ramses II, presided over by colossal sculptures of the Egyptian Pharaoh.
On our tour, we'll also visit the Temple of Nefertari, dedicated to the favourite wife of Pharaoh Ramses II, full of hieroglyphs and enigmas to be solved as the tour goes on.
Then you'll have free time to eat lunch wherever you like nearby, then we'll meet again as evening falls, ready for the Abu Simbel Night Show. In this show, the monuments are lit up with various projections which, accompanied by music, narrate the history of Ancient Egypt.
Then, with the show over, we'll head to a nearby hotel, the Seti Abu Simbel Hotel, a lovely 4-star hotel where you'll eat dinner and spend the night. This exact hotel is subject to availability, but you will always be offered a hotel of a similar standard.
