Itinerary
At Abu Simbel, travelers will visit the world-famous twin temples built by Pharaoh Ramses II over 3,000 years ago. The larger temple is dedicated to Ramses II himself and features four colossal seated statues of the king, each over 20 meters tall. The smaller temple is dedicated to Queen Nefertari, Ramses' beloved wife. Visitors can explore the impressive facades and step inside the temples to view detailed wall carvings, hieroglyphs, and scenes of ancient Egyptian rituals, battles, and offerings to the gods. You’ll have time to admire the incredible engineering feat — the entire complex was relocated in the 1960s to avoid flooding by the Nile, making it not only a masterpiece of ancient Egypt but also of modern engineering. Travelers will enjoy approximately 2 hours at the site to explore at their own pace, take photos, and immerse themselves in Egypt’s rich history.

About Aswan
Aswan is Egypt's serene southern city on the Nile, where feluccas glide between granite islands, Nubian villages and palm-fringed riverbanks.
The Nile is at its most beautiful here, broken by granite boulders and green islands. Elephantine Island holds ruins of ancient temples and colourful Nubian villages, Kitchener's Island is covered by a botanical garden, and on the west bank the Tombs of the Nobles are cut into the cliffs of Qubbet el-Hawa, while the domed Mausoleum of the Aga Khan stands on a desert hill further south.
Top-ranked sights in Aswan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple (Temple of Isis), Aswan High Dam.
