Abu Simbel Temples

Early Morning Pickup & Flight to Abu Simbel

Arrive at Abu Simbel and explore  Etro Tours guided tour of: Abu Simbel is a historic site comprising two massive rock-cut temples in the village of Abu Simbel Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt, near the border with Sudan. It is located on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 230 km (140 mi) southwest of Aswan (about 300 km (190 mi) by road). The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside in the 13th century BC, during the 19th Dynasty reign of the Pharaoh Ramesses II. Their huge external rock relief figures of Ramesses II have become iconic. Sculptures inside the Great Temple commemorate Ramesses II's heroic leadership at the Battle of Kadesh. The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968 to higher ground to avoid it being submerged by Lake Nasser, the Aswan Dam reservoir. As part of International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia, an artificial hill was made from a domed structure to house the Abu Simbel Temples, The Abu Simbel complex, and other relocated temples from Nubian sites such as Philae, Amada, Wadi es-Sebua, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Nubian Monuments.

Guided Visit to Abu Simbel Temples

Visit Temple of Nefertari – dedicated to the king’s beloved wife, featuring remarkable carvings and symmetryThe temple of Hathor and Nefertari, also known as the Small Temple, was built about one hundred meters northeast of the temple of pharaoh Ramesses II and was dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Ramesses II's chief consort, Nefertari. The Temple of Hathor at Abu Simbel was built by Ramesses II (circa 1279-1213 BCE) to honor both Hathor as the goddess of love/music and his wife Nefertari as a deified queen. The facade, resembling a pylon, has six standing colossal (over 33 feet/10 meters high) statues. The plan of the Small Temple is a simplified version of that of the Great Temple. Remarkably, this is one of very few instances in Egyptian art where the statues of the king and his consort have equal size.

Temple of Nefertari

Head back to the airport for your return flight to Aswan. Upon landing, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel safely.
