Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Drive to Abu Simbel & Sound and Light Show
Leave Aswan in the afternoon for the drive of three to four hours across the desert to Abu Simbel. Check in to a traditional Nubian guesthouse, where dinner is served. In the evening, watch the Sound & Light Show at the temples, when the colossal statues of Ramesses II are lit up against the night sky and the story of the king and his queen, Nefertari, is told under the stars.
Day 2: Sunrise at Abu Simbel & Guided Temple Visit
Wake early to watch the sun rise over Lake Nasser, then, after breakfast, explore the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Temple of Hathor and Nefertari with your Egyptologist, before the day-trip crowds arrive from Aswan. Learn how UNESCO moved both temples to higher ground in the 1960s, then drive back to Aswan, arriving around midday.
