Professional Abu Simbel Day Tour From Aswan Landmark Introduction

The landmarks featured on your Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan represent the absolute pinnacle of New Kingdom architectural ambition. Your guided tour focuses on the two masterpieces carved directly into the sandstone mountain during the 13th century BC. You will explore The Temple of Ramses II (The Sun Temple), dedicated to the gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, and Amun-Ra, as well as the deified Pharaoh himself. This temple is famous for its solar alignment and the four colossal seated statues that guard the entrance. Beside it stands The Temple of Queen Nefertari, a rare and beautiful sanctuary dedicated to the Pharaoh’s beloved wife and the goddess Hathor. Throughout your visit, your guide will highlight the intricate bas-reliefs and the remarkable engineering feat of the 1960s UNESCO relocation, which moved these massive structures block-by-block to higher ground.
