- 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 breathtaking scenery along the way - The drive to Abu Simbel was just beautiful. The sunrise over the Nile was picturesque and the colors of the sky were simply impressive. During the bus ride I was able to enjoy the breathtaking desert landscape. This trip was not only an exploration of the temples, but also a feast for the senses while I admired nature.

Insight into Egyptian history - The temples of Abu Simbel are not only architectural marvels, but also important historical sites. The Egyptian leader has told fascinating stories about the importance of the temples and their history. It was impressive to learn how Ramses II immortalized himself with these monumental buildings. A truly educational visit!

Avoid This TourThis - This tour was a complete disaster. The guide's monstrous behavior overshadowed the beauty of Abu Simbel. I strongly advise anyone considering this tour to look elsewhere
