    2h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Your private Egyptologist will pick you up from your hotel/ Nile cruise or apartment in Aswan to enjoy your day trip Abu Simbel 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. 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.
    Ramsses II temple was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramsses II himself.
    The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramssess II.
    The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramsses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one.
  2. Temple of Philae
    2h · Admission ticket included
    It is Egypt's ancient center for the cult of Isis, the Temples of Philae were venerated from the Pharaonic era through the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods with each ruler making their own additions to the stones here. This sacred site has dazzled travelers since the first Nile cruises set off from Cairo and is one of Nubia's most important monument sites.

    Saved from a watery grave by UNESCO's rescue project during the building of the Aswan High Dam, the temples were transferred block by block from their original place on Philae Island to Agilika Island
