Private Abu Simbel Day Trip from Aswan

An early start from Aswan and about three hours across the desert, 280 km each way, to the two temples Ramses II cut into the rock above Lake Nasser. The Great Temple's facade has four seated statues of the king, each around 20 meters tall; the smaller temple honors Queen Nefertari and the goddess Hathor. Your guide also tells the story of how both temples were moved in the 1960s to save them from the rising lake.

Abu Simbel, Aswan High Dam and Old Cataract Hotel Day Tour

Start early with the temples of Abu Simbel, then return to Aswan for the High Dam that holds back Lake Nasser. A boat takes you to Kitchener's Island and its botanical garden, and the day ends at the Old Cataract, the 1899 hotel on the Nile where Agatha Christie stayed. Pickup is from anywhere in Aswan or Luxor. Because the hotel table is booked a week ahead, cancellations need four days' notice.
