Breakfast box with early morning departure; your guide and driver will pick you up from the cruise ship and transfer to Abu Simbel by coach to visit the temple of Abu Simbel.
The Abu Simbel temples are two massive rock temples in Abu Simbel. They are situated on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 230 km southwest of Aswan (about 300 km by road). The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the “Nubian Monuments”, which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae (near Aswan).
The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BCE, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari, to commemorate his alleged victory at the Battle of Kadesh. However, the complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan High Dam reservoir.
The relocation of the temples was necessary to avoid their being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River.
The best time to visit the temples is for the spectacular sunrise (hence the 3am departure time from the cruise-ship).
Return back to Aswan, to the cruise ship in time for lunch, afternoon free, then dinner on board.
