Abu Simbel Tour from Aswan Itinerary

Day 01

Afternoon Drive, Hotel Check-In & Evening Sound & Light Show

 

Your afternoon Aswan to Abu Simbel trip begins with private pickup from your hotel or Nile cruise.
The road south is steady and wide, moving through open desert until the houses of Abu Simbel appear near Lake Nasser.

After check-in, you have time to rest before the evening program.

At sunset, your guide escorts you to the Sound & Light Show, one of the strongest presentations in Egypt.
The lighting, narration, and quiet setting help clarify the history of Ramses II and the unique alignment of the temples, a context that enriches your visit the following morning.

You return to the hotel for a calm overnight stay.

Meals included: Dinner

Sunrise Temple Visit, Village Lunch & Return to Aswan

 

The second day begins early, right as the first light hits the façade.
This moment is the highlight of any Aswan Abu Simbel excursion; the statues are clearer, the crowds are fewer, and the temperature is far more comfortable.

Your guide walks you through temples, explaining their alignment with the sun, the symbolism of the gods, and the engineering effort that saved them during the High Dam project.

You’ll see the contrast between the power of Ramses II’s main temple and the more refined reliefs inside the Temple of Nefertari.

Lunch is served at a local restaurant, with time for a short break before the drive back north.
The return road is quiet, giving the entire experience space to settle, one of the reasons many travelers consider this the most balanced version of the Aswan Abu Simbel travel.

For extended itineraries, the timing links easily with onward trips, including the long routes associated with an Abu Simbel tour from Cairo.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch
