What you’re going to do
Enjoy your trip to Abu Simbel by flight. Our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan to fly to Abu Simbel whose main attraction is the great sun temple of RamsesII and the Temple of Queen Nefertari. Both temples were discovered in 1813 where they were almost completely covered with sand. Both temples were moved in 1960 by the help of Egyptian government and UNESCO to avoid the rising water of the Nile. Ramses II built the temple mostly to honour himself as inside there is a mural depicting his famous victory at Kadesh battle where his army defeated his enemies. On the north of Ramses temple lies the Nefertari Temple which was built by Ramses II to his favourite wife Queen Nefertari among other 200 wives and concubines. After finishing the visit you will fly back to Aswan and then you will be driven back to your hotel.
