День 01 Abu Simble Temple
Departure from Luxor:
Your guide will meet you at the reception desk of your hotel for the commencement of your tour to Abu Simbel.
The journey will be in a private vehicle, and it will be air-conditioned so that you will have a very comfortable journey, especially in the heat of the Egyptian desert.
About 500 km from Luxor, the route typically passes through scenic landscapes of the Egyptian desert.
Travel to Abu Simbel:
is a strikingly beautiful and majestic monument by the most powerful pharaoh in the history of Egypt, Ramses II.
Arrival at Abu Simbel:
Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by the iconic temples of Abu Simbel, which were built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BCE.
The two main temples, the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the smaller Temple of Hathor and Nefertari, are carved into the mountainside and are renowned for their colossal statues and intricate hieroglyphs.
There are two temples in Abu Simbel. The great temple of Ramses II, and a smaller temple of his wife Nefertari.
The two temples are cut deep into the rock.
The great temple is dedicated to Amon-Re, Rehorakhty, Ptah, and Ramses II as a god.
The smaller temple is dedicated to Hathor and Nefertari as a goddess.
The great temple of Ramses is the most powerful work of art in the world, with its huge façade with four impressive statues of Ramses.
It is reachable by plane or by road. It is about 45 minutes by plane and about three hours by road.
The police convoy has been canceled and you can drive to Abu Simbel from Aswan between sunrise and sunset daily.
The temple is built with some angles to let the sun illuminate the face of Ramses II twice a year, on his birthday (October 21) and his coronation day (February 21). But now the dates are changed to 22 of February and 22nd of October, due to the movement of the temple.
The temples of Abu Simbel were the first temples to be rescued among 24 temples, due to the damage of the water. The rescue operation began in 1960 and was completed in the spring of 1964.
Note: On the way back to Luxor, you will take the train due to new road rules .
