Abu Simbel Tour
- Your representative will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo to fly to Aswan, then drive to Abu Simbel, whose main attraction 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. Then both temples were moved in 1960 with the help of the Egyptian government and UNESCO to avoid the rising water of the Nile. Ramses II built the temple primarily to honour himself inside, a mural depicting his famous victory at the Kadesh battle where his army defeated his enemies. On the north of Ramses Temple, the Nefertari Temple was built by Ramses II for his favourite wife, Queen Nefertari, among 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.
