Tour Overview

ravel with Sunny Land Tours on a breathtaking full-day journey to the world-famous Abu Simbel Temples, a masterpiece of ancient engineering and artistry. After an early morning hotel pick-up, relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you drive through the Nubian Desert.

Upon arrival, explore the monumental Great Temple of Ramses II, where colossal statues stand guard over the sacred inner chambers. Continue to the elegant Temple of Queen Nefertari, remarkable for its symmetrical façade and delicate carvings.

Learn from your expert Egyptologist guide how these temples were cut from the cliffs and later relocated by UNESCO in the 1960s to escape the rising waters created by the Aswan High Dam.

If visiting on February 22 or October 22, marvel at the legendary Sun Festival when the first rays of dawn penetrate the sanctuary and illuminate Ramses’ statue—a spectacle of cosmic precision.

After ample time to admire and photograph these wonders, return comfortably to Aswan in the late afternoon.
