Itinerario

1. The flight from Aswan to the small town of Abu Simbel takes only around 30 minutes. Your Egyptologist guide will meet you at the airport (if option selected) and accompany you to the famous temples of Ramses II and his favorite wife Nefertari. On the short walk to the temple entrances, your guide will explain the history of the site, including details of the UNESCO-led relocation of the entire cliff face to higher ground, and how the temples were discovered by accident in 1813. Due to the large number of visitors to Abu Simbel, guides are not permitted inside either the Great Temple of Ramses II or the smaller Temple of Hathor. However, by using photos and illustrations, your guide will explain to you the structures and their interior artworks. You will then have free time to enter the temples and explore them at your leisure. As one of the few ancient Egyptian sites which largely escaped damage by past invaders, the interiors of Abu Simbel's temples are astounding. The scale of the buildings and their detailed decoration leaves most visitors in awe. The temples' attraction is further enhanced by their scenic location on the edge of Lake Nasser in the orange sands of the desert. After visiting the temples there may be time for a short visit to the small visitor's center which documents the UNESCO relocation project.

About Assuan

Assuan è la serena città meridionale dell'Egitto sul Nilo, dove le feluche scivolano tra isole di granito, villaggi nubiani e rive di palme.

Il Nilo è qui al suo massimo splendore, interrotto da massi di granito e isole verdi. L'isola Elefantina custodisce rovine di templi antichi e colorati villaggi nubiani, l'isola Kitchener è coperta da un giardino botanico, e sulla riva occidentale le Tombe dei Nobili sono scavate nelle scogliere di Qubbet el-Hawa, mentre il mausoleo a cupola dell'Aga Khan sorge su una collina del deserto più a sud.

Top-ranked sights in Assuan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple (Temple of Isis), Aswan High Dam.
