Private Day Trip To Abu Simbel From Aswan

Hoogtepunten

Inbegrepen

Route

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

Assoean is Egyptes rustige zuidelijke stad aan de Nijl, waar feloeken glijden tussen granieten eilanden, Nubische dorpen en oevers met palmen.

De Nijl is hier op zijn mooist, doorbroken door granieten rotsblokken en groene eilanden. Elephantine bevat ruïnes van oude tempels en kleurrijke Nubische dorpen, Kitchener's Island is bedekt met een botanische tuin, en op de westoever zijn de graven van de edelen uitgehouwen in de kliffen van Qubbet el-Hawa, terwijl het gekoepelde mausoleum van de Aga Khan verderop naar het zuiden op een woestijnheuvel staat.
