• Aswan - The day starts bright and early with a timely pickup from your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan, usually between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM. A professional driver and knowledgeable guide will meet you at your accommodation and accompany you to a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Departing before sunrise ensures a cooler journey and an early arrival at the temples, ahead of the crowds.
• Abu Simbel - Dominating the desert sands near the Sudanese border, the Great Temple of Ramses II is a remarkable feat of ancient engineering and ambition. Carved directly into the rock, four massive statues of the pharaoh stand at the entrance, each over 60 feet tall. Inside, a series of intricately decorated halls depict scenes of military victories, divine tributes, and celestial alignments — all celebrating Ramses’ reign. The temple is aligned so that twice a year, the sun illuminates the inner sanctuary — a phenomenon that continues to amaze visitors and scholars alike.
• Temple of Nefertari - Just a short distance away is the smaller yet equally impressive Temple of Nefertari, dedicated to Ramses’ cherished queen. It is uncommon in Egyptian temple architecture to see a queen depicted on the same scale as a king, but here, Nefertari stands as Ramses’ equal. The beautifully painted interior honors her beauty, grace, and divine connection with Hathor, the goddess of love and music. As you explore this sacred space, you’ll sense the reverence and affection the great pharaoh had for his queen.
• Aswan - After leisurely exploring the temples — with plenty of time for photos and insights from your guide — you’ll embark on the picturesque 3 to 4-hour drive back through the Nubian desert. Along the way, your guide may share stories about the historic 1960s UNESCO relocation effort that preserved the temples from flooding. Upon returning to Aswan, you’ll be dropped off directly at your hotel or cruise ship, typically in the early afternoon, with cherished memories and a camera full of unforgettable images.
