What You Will Do
Abu Simbel Temple located in the south of Aswan along the shore of Lake Nasser, is the most famous in all of Egypt after the Giza pyramids. Built by the greatest of the pharaohs, Ramesses II, making them also known as the Temple of Ramesses II or Ramesses II, these massive rock-cut temples marked the southern frontier of the Egyptian Empire with Nubia at the height of its power during the New Kingdom.
The four statues that guard the entrance leading to the largest of these temples are the largest statues that have survived from the ancient Pharaonic era.

After pickup from your hotel in Aswan early in the morning, drive approximately 300 kilometers (190 miles) southwest to Abu Simbel in an air-conditioned bus or private car, depending on the tour option you select. Once there, meet your guide, then discover two of the most renowned temples in Egypt, one dedicated to Ramses II and the other to his favorite wife, Nefertari. Skip the lines to access the site and explore the temples constructed in the 13th century B.C. Admire the gigantic facade of the Ramses II temple that represents four colossal seated figures of Ramses. The facade is 119 feet (36 meters) wide and 100 feet (32.5 meters) high, and the statues are each 67 feet (20.4 meters) high. Enter the interior of the temple via a 185-foot (56.4-meter) man-made rock cave that leads to a series of halls and rooms.
