What to expect

  1. Abu Simbel Temple
    8h · Admission ticket included
    Your destination is the renowned Abu Simbel, a site of unparalleled significance in the annals of ancient Egypt. These two temples, standing proudly with their distinctive style, are considered the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian artistry.
    They stand as a testament to the grandeur and splendor of the New Kingdom, their architecture capturing the essence of a glorious era. An inspiring collaboration between the Egyptian government and UNESCO ensured the preservation of these temples from the threat of floods.

    The Temple of Ramses II stands as a dedication to four universal deities: Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and Ramses II himself. Often referred to as The Sun Temple of Ramses II, this grand structure emanates an aura of majesty.
    Adjacent to it is the Temple of Queen NEFERTARI, often referred to as the Temple of Hathor. Hathor, the wife of the Sun God, symbolically unites Ramses II, NEFERTARI, Hathor, and the Sun God within these hallowed walls.
