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.

“Had a great experience the first day - booked a second one with Ali”

It is just as the title of this review says - had a great experience with the personalized itinerary Ali planned for me on day one (yesterday) - so a second day followed today. Ali adapted the plans for today twice according to my spontaneous requests and answered all my questions and again I felt very well taken care of. Temples and tombs well explained, having a good laugh or two and never feeling rushed. Thanks Ali!! One can tell that you know what you‘re doing and that you like your job.

Ali S.

Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend! It truly means a lot to me that you chose to spend a second day exploring with me. I’m really happy you enjoyed the personalized itinerary and that we could adapt everything to match what you wanted to see and experience. That’s always my goal — to make every tour flexible, comfortable, and memorable. I’m glad you felt well taken care of and never rushed, and that we could share some good moments and laughs along the way. It was a real pleasure guiding you through the temples and tombs. You’re always welcome anytime in Luxor — it would be great to see you again!

“Great personalized day trip ”

Having only 1.5 days for sightseeing in Luxor but a long list of things I wanted to do and see - including some not usually included in „the normal tours“, Ali personalized a perfect itinerary for me. And he also organized my transfer from my previous location to Luxor with a nice driver (thanks Yasser!). All the time knowledgeable and answering all my questions, very friendly, always making sure I was ok in the egyptian temperatures, smartly navigating me to avoid crowds at all the sights, and helping me out quickly with any other question I had regarding my stay in Luxor. Being a female travelling alone I also felt very save and taken good care of at all times. Now I am very tired but full of wonderful Luxor-experiences - Thanks Ali!

Ali S.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review — it truly means a lot to me. It was a real pleasure planning your itinerary and making sure you could experience as much as possible in your limited time without feeling rushed. I’m very glad you enjoyed the personalized tour and that everything—from the transfer to the visits—went smoothly. Your comfort, safety, and overall experience are always my top priorities, so I’m especially happy to hear you felt well taken care of throughout your stay. Luxor has so much to offer, and I’m glad you left with such great memories. Wishing you a relaxing rest after your trip, and I hope to welcome you back to Egypt again in the future!
