280 Kilometers (3-hour drive) south of Aswan are the largest and most beautiful rock-cut temples. The Site is so charming between Lake Nasser (Formed thanks to the new Dam) and the huge Egyptian desert. Considered Pharounical works of our era, the temples were saved by UNESCO between 1964 and 1968 from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. The road is also very well made, well paved and in the middle of the road, we will see Le Mirage on each side. The temples of Abu Simbel date back to 1200 BC, dug at the time of Ramses 2. He dedicated the large temple to him, on the other hand, the other small temple is dedicated to his beautiful wife (the favorite among his wives) Nefertari

    What you'll see and do

    1. Abu Simbel

      Abu Simbel is considered the most visited site in Egypt after the pyramids. not to be missed when you are in Egypt. The site contains the 2 largest temples carved into the rock in Egypt. It dates from the time of Ramses 2 who ordered to make the 2 temples here one for him and the other for his wife Nefertari. The Temple of Ramses is larger than that of Nefertari, and the great temple has a phenomenon that repeats itself twice a year, the sun illuminates its statue on October 22, and February 22 each year. The temples were saved and moved by Unesco from the rising waters behind the new Aswan dam. Our French-speaking guide will pick you up where you are in Aswan (hotel, boat, airport, guesthouses, ....). The guide will explain to you in front of the temples from an Album because he has no right to explain to you at the interior. You have free time to see the site and for the photos, then during the return. If it is clear you will admire seeing the mirage.

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.

    How much does A private guided day tour to Abu Simbel temples from Aswan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $166 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does A private guided day tour to Abu Simbel temples from Aswan take?

    +

    Is A private guided day tour to Abu Simbel temples from Aswan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule A private guided day tour to Abu Simbel temples from Aswan?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is A private guided day tour to Abu Simbel temples from Aswan suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book A private guided day tour to Abu Simbel temples from Aswan?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aswan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does A private guided day tour to Abu Simbel temples from Aswan start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aswan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Aswan?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Aswan?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Aswan?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
