Cairo to Abu Simbel via Aswan
Your representative will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo for your flight to Aswan, followed by a drive to Abu Simbel. The main attraction here is the Great Sun Temple of King Ramses II and the Temple of Queen Nefertari. Both temples were discovered in 1813, almost completely covered with sand.
In 1960, with the help of the Egyptian government and UNESCO, both temples were moved to avoid the rising waters of the Nile. Ramses II built his temple primarily to honour himself, and inside you can see a mural depicting his famous victory at the Battle of Kadesh, where his army defeated his enemies.
To the north of Ramses II's temple stands the Temple of Nefertari, built by Ramses II for his favourite wife, Queen Nefertari, among his 200 other wives and concubines.
After finishing the visit, you will drive back to Aswan, fly to Cairo, and then be driven back to your hotel.
