Abu Simbel from Aswan Egypt Itinerary

Day 01

Aswan to Abu Simbel Drive & Evening Sound & Light Show

 

Your journey begins in the afternoon with a private transfer from your hotel or cruise in Aswan Egypt, driving south along Lake Nasser’s desert edge toward Abu Simbel. The route is smooth, familiar to anyone traveling Aswan to Abu Simbel, and gives a quiet transition into the overnight Egypt trip.

Check in to your hotel on arrival and rest for a few hours before meeting your guide for the Sound & Light Show, one of Egypt’s most engaging evening presentations. 

The illuminated façade of each Abu Simbel temple shifts gently across the stone, and the recorded narration carries softly through the open air. Private transfer returns you to your hotel for the night.

Meals included: Dinner

Morning Temple Tour & Return to Aswan

 

An early start takes you directly to the archaeological zone where the two temples stand facing the sunrise, Ramses II’s Sun Temple and the Temple of Queen Nefertari. 

Your guide leads a structured Egypt temple excursion, covering the relocation effort supported by UNESCO after the construction of the Aswan Dam, the artistic program of the inner halls, and the historical symbolism tied to Ancient Egypt’s New Kingdom.

A soft line of warm morning light touches the statues as you step between carved chambers, one clear sensory moment in your Abu Simbel tour before the site becomes active with visitors.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant with free time afterward to walk around Abu Simbel Egypt at your own pace. Later, your private vehicle returns you north Aswan to Abu Simbel for drop-off at your hotel or Nile cruise.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch

A short, focused journey that keeps the story of Abu Simbel at the center, clear logistics, an easy pace, and enough space to feel the site of this Abu Simbel from Aswan Egypt experience.

When the timing is right, this overnight route from Aswan is one of the simplest ways to experience Ancient Egypt’s most enduring temples.
