About this tour
Visit the colossal rock-cut UNESCO World Heritage Temples of Abu Simbel on a seamless single-day excursion from Cairo with round-trip domestic flights (Cairo – Aswan – Abu Simbel – Aswan – Cairo), private airport transfers, a licensed Egyptologist guide, and lunch in Aswan included. Designed for travelers based in Cairo who want to experience Ramesses II's Nubian masterpiece without adding an overnight stay in Upper Egypt, every flight and ground connection is privately coordinated.
Start with an early morning private transfer from your Cairo or Giza hotel to Cairo International Airport for your domestic flight via Aswan to Abu Simbel. Upon landing at Abu Simbel Airport, meet your private Egyptologist guide and transfer to the lakeshore cliffs of Lake Nasser to explore the Great Temple of Ramesses II guarded by four 20 meter seated colossi and the neighboring Temple of Queen Nefertari dedicated to Hathor.
Following your guided visit at Abu Simbel, fly back to Aswan for a freshly prepared lunch at a Nile view restaurant in Aswan before boarding your afternoon flight to Cairo, where your private driver transfers you back to your hotel by early evening.
