It is time to visit one of the most impressive places in Egypt; the rock-cut temples of Abu Simbel with their unique design built for King Ramesses 2nd. and his beloved Queen Nefertari.
Suena Egipto Tours Egyptologist tour Guide will pick you up from your Hotel/Nile Cruise in Aswan on time, start your day tour to Abu Simbel temple by air-conditioned vehicle, and drive for about 3 hours and a half. Enjoy the scenery of the Egyptian desert and watch the sunrise over the mountains.
Arrive at Abu Simbel; where your guide will explain to you the history of the two temples built by the great pharaoh Ramesses 2nd big one for himself and the smaller one for his main wife Queen Nefertari; hewn out of the rock as a symbol of his superiority over Egypt’s traditional Nubian foe. Abu Simbel complex is not only the most unusual in the whole of Egypt but also represents the success of the Egyptian government and UNESCO to save the Nubian temples from the rising of the water of Lake Naser after building the high dam in 1960. Your tour guide will give you some free time to explore the two temples from the inside as no guidance inside.
