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.

“Amazing day with an archeologist”

Our guide today was Waleed. He is an archeologist and he is working in an excavation close by. He knows a lot and is a warm happy person. We were two women traveling alone and felt very safe. He even showed us his site! Very recommendable. Thanks Ali for organizing this tour for us.

Ali S.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! I’m truly delighted to hear that you had such an amazing day with Waleed. He is indeed a very knowledgeable archaeologist, and it’s always a special experience when guests can connect with someone actively working in the field. I’m especially glad you felt safe and comfortable throughout the day—that’s always one of my top priorities. It was a pleasure organizing this tour for you, and I really appreciate your kind words. I hope to welcome you again in Egypt for another memorable experience! Warm regards, Ali
