In the morning, you will be picked up from the hotel and head towards Abu Simbel to visit the location of the most famous temples (Great and Small Temples) of King Ramses II and his wife Queen Nefertari. The most spectacular aspect of this temple is its location in solid rock above the banks of the Nile River. The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, known as the “Nubian Monuments”, which run from Abu Simbel downstream to Phil (near Aswan). It is believed that the axis of the temple was located by ancient Egyptian architects in such a way that on October 22 and February 22, the rays of the sun penetrated the sanctuary and illuminated the sculptures on the back wall, with the exception of the statue of Ptah, a god associated with the Underworld, who always remained in the dark.
Then we return to Aswan at about 13:00.

Loved seeing the temple on the outside for the first time with its powerful and imposing statues! The reliefs inside are wonderfully well preserved. We took the car drive through the desert and prepare for a long one ! Great guide and professional driver along with rich Egyptian stories of the ancient kingdoms.

We (family of 4 with 2 small kids) arrived in Cairo and was met by Mohamed Issa. We are from South Africa and booked our Egypt Vacation with Deluxe Travel. Mona the ever helpful Agent assisted us with every detail in our trip itinerary. She was always accommodating and responded swiftly to our every request.
Mohamed Issa, wonderful gentlemen assisted us as soon as we touched down in Cairo and assisted us till we boarded our fight to Aswan, 3 hours later. He also went of his way to help with a baggage issue we encountered with Egypt Air.
Our 1st stop: Aswan!
Quick 1 hour 30min flight, was met at the airport by the extremely knowledgeable and warm host, Mohamed El Aswany. As we arrived early, 9:30 am, we proceeded to the High Dam and Philae Temple. Every detail from start to finish was arranged and we never had to lift a finger. No detail misses Mohamed, and he was ever ready to share his secrets and knowledge of the area. He encouraged us to visit Abu Simbel which we initially had on our itinerary but was considering canceling due to the kids and the early departure, but we did it and never regretted. Day 2 we did the Abu Simbel tour and a cruise down the Nile to the Nubian Village in the late afternoon which was an interesting experience.
In Aswan we stayed at the Movenpick, which is on a little island in the middle of the Nile. Great choice!!
Amr had driven us throughout the 2 days and to Luxor in the mini-van which was exclusively for us throughout our stay. All in all a wonderful busy start to our tour/vacation. Would highly recommend our guide Mohamed El Aswany and Deluxe Travel.
To be continued....next stop Luxor
