Journey Overview

A long but rewarding journey for travellers who want to see Abu Simbel without adding an overnight stay. The product should be sold as a dedicated archaeological excursion with a realistic early start and return.

Departing from Cairo, this dedicated private day excursion takes you deep into Upper Egypt and Nubia to stand before the colossal rock-cut temples of Ramesses II and Queen Nefertari at Abu Simbel. Carved directly into the mountainside overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Nasser, the twin sanctuaries represent the pinnacle of New Kingdom monumental architecture and UNESCO heritage preservation.
