The Fascinating History Behind our Abu Simbel Temple Excursions

The narrative of our Abu Simbel Temple excursions centers on the 13th century BC, when the sun king commissioned two massive rock-cut temples to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh and to honor his beloved Queen Nefertari. During your Abu Simbel Temple tour, you will learn not only of its ancient origins but also of the modern miracle of the 1960s UNESCO salvage operation. History comes alive at the Abu Simbel Temple as our expert guides recount how the entire complex was dismantled and moved stone-by-stone to higher ground, preserving this masterpiece from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.

Highlights: What to See During Your Abu Simbel Temple Tour

The definitive highlight of any Abu Simbel Temple tour is the Great Temple, guarded by four seated colossi of Ramses II, each standing 20 meters tall. Inside the Abu Simbel Temple, the hypostyle hall and the inner sanctuary—where the sun precisely illuminates the statues of the gods twice a year—offer a spiritual and mathematical wonder. Many of our guests choose to enhance their itinerary by combining these sights with our high-end Aswan Tours, allowing for a seamless transition from the desert majesty of Abu Simbel to the granite heart of the Nile in total luxury.
