Itinerary
Pass By: Abu Simbel, Abu Simbel, Aswan Governorate, Nile River Valley
Your journey begins at 2:30 AM, as our representative picks you up from your Luxor hotel. You will travel comfortably to Luxor train station, where you will board a train for an approximately 3-hour ride to Aswan. From Aswan, you will continue the journey in a private air-conditioned vehicle for approximately 3.5 hours to Abu Simbel. These two temples, architectural marvels of Abu Simbel, are considered the gems of ancient Egypt, radiating the glory and grandeur of the New Kingdom. To protect these temples from flooding, the Egyptian government collaborated with UNESCO. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to four universal deities: Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and Ramses II himself. Often referred to as the Sun Temple of Ramses II, the magnificent Abu Simbel temple also features the Temple of Queen Nefertari, symbolically associated with Hathor, the wife of the Sun God. You will have approximately 2 hours to explore these temples before returning on the same train route to Luxor, arriving around 8 PM and safely returning to your Luxor hotel.
