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.

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.

“Half Day Tour of Luxor To Karnak & Luxor Temples”

With having Ali as a our guide on a previous trip we knew we were not going to be disappointed. Ali was again excellent in every aspect you expect from a guide. Punctual, in a clean car, with drinking water on pick up from our hotel. Despite the madness of the Luxor roads we felt safe all the time due to a very carful driver. The two temple tour was amazing and at each venue Ali assisted with all the entrance fees. Ali's knowledge of each of the sites was exceptional and he explained to us in clear detail the history behind everything we saw. We were also given free time in each temple with no pressure on time to savour the magnificent structures and to take photographs. During the day we had many questions regarding Egyptian history, and the sites we visited, and Ali's knowledge was very impressive. Another excellent day with many memories , thanks to Ali's contribution.

Ali S.

Thank you very much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate your kind words and your continued trust in choosing me again as your guide. It was a real pleasure to spend another day with you and share the history and beauty of Luxor together. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the two temple tour and that the explanations, organization, and relaxed time at each site made the experience special for you. Your interest in Egyptian history and all the great questions made the day even more enjoyable for me as well. Thank you again for your support and for creating such great memories together. You are always very welcome in Egypt, and I hope to see you again on a future visit. Warm regards, Ali

Ali was excellent in every aspect you expect from a guide. Punctual, in a clean car, with drinking water on pick up. Well spoken in English and very informative with regards to Luxor on our route to all the venues. Despite the madness of the Luxor roads we felt safe all the time due to a very carful driver. At each venue Ali assisted with all the entrance fees and clearly explained the options to us. Ali's knowledge of each of the sites was exceptional and explained to us in clear detail the history behind everything we saw. As guides were not allowed in some of the tombs he had brought pictures of what we should look out for and their history when in the tombs. We were also given free time in each tomb and temple with no pressure on time, and to take photographs. During the day we had many questions regarding Egyptian history and the sites we visited and Ali's knowledge was very impressive. An excellent day made more special by a first class, smart and knowledgeable guide. We are so please we have booked Ali for other site seeing trips.
