Abu Simbel Temple Complex, Abu Simbel, Egypt An absolute must see in Egypt is the magnificent temple complex of Abu Simbel, commissioned 3,000 years ago by Ramses II for himself and his beloved wife Nefertari. The impressive structures commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kardesh and they were meant to impress his enemies in the south. The facade of the Great Temple is 35m high and 30m long. The Great Temple was constructed on the position of the sun. On February 22 and October 22 sunlight penetrates 55m into the inner sanctuary to illuminate 3 of the statues at the back wall. Only the 4th statue of Ptah, the god of the Underworld, remains in darkness all year round. The Smaller Temple is completely dedicated to Nefertari and her being crowned as the Goddesses Isis and Hathor.
From 1964-1968, UNESCO started an initiative to move both the Great Temple and the Small Temple to a plateau on the cliffs to safe them from flooding. The temples were dismantled, moved 60 meters up the sandstone cliff that they originally stood on and were then reassembled. Near the re-erected temples now stands a man made dome, which houses an exhibit of photographs, detailing the entire relocation. 150 minutes

Fantastic day trips to Abu Simbel and Edfu/Isis temples. The amazing guide Mohammad is very knowledgeable, always trying to make sure our trip safe and peace.. Always make us comfortable and happy during the trip. He arranged the trip plan to fulfill all the requests we had. We requested to stay at the temple longer than scheduled, that made our trip finished late than planned. However The professional driver Khaled, he drove us in safe the whole day of two trips till really late time to make sure we arrived back to the hotel in safe.
Very satisfying experience from the booking , arrangement and the touring.
That’s why we decided to add Edfu/Isis tour with them right just after the day of Abu Simbel tour.
Strongly recommended for friends, families trips!!!

It’s definitely a long day, but it was worth it. Abu Simbel was amazing, and our guide, Adam, was so knowledgeable and excited to share with us. He was also a great photographer! We ended up with some time because Abu Simbel was practically empty this time of year, so he was willing to add a quick stop in Aswan to see the unfinished obelisk and take a boat up the Nile for some tea in one of the local Nubian villages. Lunch outside Abu Simbel was delicious, as well. The communication with company before the tour was amazing—Amina was so helpful and willing to answer questions.
We were hesitant because this tour didn’t have a lot of reviews on Viator when we booked, but it was one of our best days in Egypt. We loved every second of it and would highly suggest it!
