- Abu Simbel Temple Complex - In accordance with the scheduled time, a knowledgeable guide from Bastet Travel will collect you from your Aswan lodging and transport you southward for approximately three and a half hours to experience a day trip to Abu Simbel. You’ll travel in comfort in a climate-controlled vehicle. The dual Temples of Abu Simbel stand out with their distinctive architecture and are hailed as ancient Egypt’s crowning achievements. They epitomize the splendor of the New Kingdom era. To avert their inundation, the Egyptian authorities and UNESCO collaborated on a rescue mission. The Temple of Ramses II is consecrated to the quartet of deities Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and Ramses II himself. This grand temple is also known as Ramses II’s Sun Temple. The Temple of Queen Nefertari is referred to as the Temple of Hathor, who was the consort of the Sun Deity. Thus, the pair of temples, one of Ramses II and the other of Nefertari, symbolically unite Ramses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the Sun Deity.

The wonderful experience of Abu Simbel day trip - What an unforgettable adventure this trip was! We rode in comfortable air-conditioned buses through the beautiful landscape to Abu Simbel's rock-carved temple. The guide, Mr. Hany, was very professional and he told us many interesting stories about Egyptian history and culture in fluent Chinese. These temples are particularly spectacular on the shores of Lake Nasser and the whole experience is highly recommended!

An Early Morning Journey to Abu Simbel - The trip to Abu Simbel was an incredible experience! The drive was long but comfortable, and once we arrived, the temples were beyond breathtaking. Carved into the rock and overlooking Lake Nasser, it felt like stepping back into ancient Egypt.

Exploring the Majestic Temples of Abu Simbel - This day trip to Abu Simbel was one of the highlights of our visit to Egypt .
We departed from Aswan early in the morning , traveling in a comfortable air-conditioned coach .
The three-and-a-half-hour journey was smooth , and we enjoyed the views of the desert landscape .
Arriving at Abu Simbel , we were blown away by the sheer size of the two temples carved into the rock .
The temples are not only impressive in size but also in their detailed carvings and historical significance .
Our guide shared many interesting stories about the temples and their relocation to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser .
After a few hours of exploring , we headed back to Aswan .
This trip was well worth the early start , and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Egypt .
Thanks to our knowledgeable guide for an exceptional experience
