Itinerario

1. Your private guide will collect you from your hotel in Aswan at 5 A.M for the three-hour drive south: you'll travel in your own comfortable air-conditioned vehicle for this private tour of Abu Simbel. Built during the reign of the great Pharaoh Ramses II, in the 13th century BC, these two vast rock-cut temples are dedicated to Ramses II and his wife, Nefertari. They are considered architectural masterpieces of Egypt's New Kingdom and so, when Aswan's High Dam was first built, flooding their original location, the Egyptian government and UNESCO worked together to save both temples from the flood. Your guide will escort you to the Great Temple, or Sun Temple, built in honor of Ramses II and dedicated to him and four other gods, as well as the smaller temple dedicated to his wife Nefertari, and also known as the Temple of Hathor. A qualified Egyptologist, he will explain the fine details of the rock-cut carvings and statuary, as well as how the temples were saved from the flood. After around two hours at the temples, you'll return to Aswan at 12:30.

About Aswan

Asuán, serena ciudad del sur de Egipto junto al Nilo: falucas entre islas de granito, aldeas nubias y orillas bordeadas de palmeras.

El Nilo está aquí en su momento más hermoso, interrumpido por rocas de granito e islas verdes. La isla Elefantina alberga ruinas de templos antiguos y coloridas aldeas nubias, la isla Kitchener está cubierta por un jardín botánico, y en la orilla oeste las Tumbas de los Nobles están excavadas en los acantilados de Qubbet el-Hawa, mientras que el mausoleo con cúpula del Aga Khan se alza sobre una colina del desierto más al sur.
