Aswan to Abu simbel – Our magical adventure to Abu Simbel usually starts in the early morning when our expert Tour guide picks you up from your hotel in Aswan and drives to the south of Aswan which is around 3hrs drive to enjoy Abu Simbel’s day tour from Aswan by a PRIVATE air-conditioned vehicle.
The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt as they reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate in order to save these temples from the flood. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramesses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramses II. The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called the Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramesses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the Sun God together as one.
Ramses II originally cut the two temples into the side of a mountain, now domed by an artificial mountain to resemble the original site. The Great Temple was constructed, so that the rising sun shone between the 4 statues of Ramses and into the inner recesses of the sanctuary on both February 22nd and October 22nd. Modern engineers spent a full year calculating the new placement of the temple to reproduce this miracle. Today, on those dates each year, the sun rays illuminate the holy statues for 20 minutes.
The massive job took four years to be completed, between 1964-1968. Abu Simbel Tours remains one of Egypt’s top tourist attractions after the pyramids of Giza. After finished, transfer back to Aswan airport to fly back to Cairo, then to Cairo hotel.
