About this experience

There are several prices plans options for This private tour, depends on the inclusions and the pickup city. 3,000 years ago Ramses II build these monumental temples for himself and his beloved wife Nefertari. The walls are adorned with scenes of his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. The façade of the Great Temple is 35m high/30m long. The Smaller Temple is dedicated to Nefertari, depicted as the Goddesses Isis and Hathor. From 1964-68, UNESCO set forth an initiative to move both temples to a plateau on the cliffs to protect them from flooding. The temples were dismantled, moved 60m up the sandstone cliff that they originally stood on and were then reassembled. After gazing at these Nubian Monuments, you will be brought back to your accommodation in Aswan. Depending on availability, your guide will join you in Aswan or Abu Simbel.

What you'll see and do

  1. Abu Simbel Temple

    An absolute must see in Egypt is the magnificent temple complex of Abu Simbel, commissioned 3,000 years ago by Ramses II for himself and his beloved wife Nefertari. The impressive structures commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kardesh and they were meant to impress his enemies in the south. The facade of the Great Temple is 35m high and 30m long. The Great Temple was constructed on the position of the sun. On February 22 and October 22 sunlight penetrates 55m into the inner sanctuary to illuminate 3 of the statues at the back wall. Only the 4th statue of Ptah, the god of the Underworld, remains in darkness all year round. The Smaller Temple is completely dedicated to Nefertari and her being crowned as the Goddesses Isis and Hathor. Near the re-erected temples now stands a man made dome, which houses an exhibit of photographs, detailing the entire relocation.

Lovely Nile Cruise Luxor-Aswan and Abu Simbel

Because of previous experiences with Blue Heaven Travel (excursions, an Omra and two cruises), we decided to approach Mohamed again to arrange another Nile Cruise. With all our wishes in mind, he booked us a beautiful luxury cruise on board the MS Opera together with a mesmerizing trip to Abu Simbel. Thank you for excellent service and priceless insight to what we were looking for. We wish the entire Blue Heaven Travel Team all the best in this difficult time and we will definitely be contacting you for our next adventure.

Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Firstly let us thank you for your best wishes towards our Blue Heaven Travel Team. It was a pleasure to arrange your Nile Cruise and we are very happy to know that you had a beautiful holiday and a memorable trip to Abu Simbel. We are ready to arrange your next adventure. With thanks, Blue Heaven Travel Team

Aswan to Abu Simbel- Private Tour Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Aswan to Abu Simbel- Private Tour Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel cost?

+

Prices start at $25 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 Aswan to Abu Simbel- Private Tour Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel take?

+

Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aswan is not rushed.

Is Aswan to Abu Simbel- Private Tour Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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 Aswan to Abu Simbel- Private Tour Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel?

+

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 Aswan to Abu Simbel- Private Tour Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Aswan to Abu Simbel- Private Tour Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel?

+

Around 1 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Aswan to Abu Simbel- Private Tour Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel 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 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure. 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.
