Abu Simbel Land Trip from Aswan

Tour Highlights: (Sites on Abu Simbel Land Trip from Aswan)
An early morning overland trip to the Abu Simbel Temples are located on the western bank of Lake Nasser, dedicated to Pharaoh Ramesses II and his queen Nefertari.

You will be going on an extraordinary adventure & road trip from Aswan for 240 Miles (230km) to visit the most southern ancient sites in Egypt, the land of Nubia. Traveling in comfortable transportation to reach the remarkable temples of Abu Simbel.

The whole complex was relocated by a multinational team of archeologists, engineers and skilled heavy equipment operators. All working together under the UNESCO banner costing US$40 million at the time between 1964 & 1968.

Upon arrival at Abu Simbel,

you’ll be greeted by the iconic twin temples, carved into the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II. The sheer scale and precision of these temples are a testament to the engineering prowess of ancient Egypt. The larger temple is dedicated to Ramses II himself. The smaller temple is dedicated to his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Abu Simbel Temples is their astronomical precision. Twice a year, on February 22 and October 22, the rising sun penetrates the inner sanctum to illuminate the statues of the gods seated within. This event is a testament to the ancient Egyptians’ deep understanding of astronomy and their devotion to the sun god, Ra.
