Abu Simbel Temples

Visit the breathtaking Abu Simbel Temples, masterpieces of ancient Egyptian art and architecture built by Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BC. These two colossal rock temples were dedicated to Ramses II and his beloved Queen Nefertari. Admire the four towering statues guarding the entrance, the beautifully preserved carvings inside, and the stunning alignment that illuminates the inner sanctuary twice a year. Relocated by UNESCO to protect them from Lake Nasser, Abu Simbel remains one of Egypt’s greatest archaeological achievements and a true symbol of ancient power and devotion.

Temple of Queen Nefertari

The Temple of Queen Nefertari, also known as the Small Temple, stands beside the grand monument of Ramses II at Abu Simbel and is dedicated to his beloved wife and the goddess Hathor. This beautifully carved temple honors the deep affection Ramses had for Nefertari, portraying her as an equal to the pharaoh himself — a rare honor in ancient Egypt. Six majestic statues grace the façade, depicting both Nefertari and Ramses II in perfect harmony. Inside, exquisite wall reliefs and colorful scenes illustrate the queen’s divine status, musical offerings to Hathor, and moments of royal worship, making this temple a true symbol of love, art, and devotion.

End of Tour with Opportunity for Pictures

At the end of the tour, enjoy some free time to take photos and capture the beauty of the temple at your own pace. Your guide will be happy to help you find the best spots for memorable pictures before we begin the return journey.

Drop off at your Accommodation

“Abu Simbel”

The drive was worth every second. Ali gave us all of the information needed. He gave us plenty of time to look around unlike tour groups that rushed people thru. The temples were everything I imagined they would be, and more.

Ali S.

I always believe that visiting such an extraordinary place should be a relaxed experience, with plenty of time to appreciate its history, beauty, and details without feeling rushed. It was a real pleasure sharing this experience with you. Thank you for choosing me as your guide in Egypt, and I hope to welcome you back again someday!
