What you'll see and do
Abu Simbel Temple
Your private guide will collect you from your hotel in Aswan at 5 A.M for the three-hour drive south: you'll travel in your own comfortable air-conditioned vehicle for this private tour of Abu Simbel. Built during the reign of the great Pharaoh Ramses II, in the 13th century BC, these two vast rock-cut temples are dedicated to Ramses II and his wife, Nefertari. They are considered architectural masterpieces of Egypt's New Kingdom and so, when Aswan's High Dam was first built, flooding their original location, the Egyptian government and UNESCO worked together to save both temples from the flood. Your guide will escort you to the Great Temple, or Sun Temple, built in honor of Ramses II and dedicated to him and four other gods, as well as the smaller temple dedicated to his wife Nefertari, and also known as the Temple of Hathor. A qualified Egyptologist, he will explain the fine details of the rock-cut carvings and statuary, as well as how the temples were saved from the flood. After around two hours at the temples, you'll return to Aswan at 12:30.

Just Amazing!!!!!
We had the most amazing time during this tour. We had the best tour guide, Ahmed Abdulla. He was extremely knowledgeable and such a nice person. By the end of our trip he felt like family. He made our trip extra special. The views in Abu Simbel were jaw dropping to say the least. You have to be there to really take in all of its beauty.

Aswan - High Dam- Abu Simbel - Philae Temple - Overnight on the Nile
Aswan Area From Hurghada With Canary Tours September 2019 Wow what can I say! 2 amazing days away with canary tours Egypt arranged by Aladdin Darwish and Mahmoud. To Aswan And Abu Simbel It’s a long journey But so well worth it, and arranged and organised perfectly, nothing was too much trouble at all. The train journey back from Aswan past Luxor along the Nile was great. If your thinking of doing something other laying on a beach then you really must speak to Canary tours to sort something out. Would highly recommend these guys they never cease to amaze. we are returning September 2020 and i know who we will be using

Private Day Trip To Abu Simbel From Aswan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Private Day Trip To Abu Simbel From Aswan cost?
+
Prices start at $167 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 Private Day Trip To Abu Simbel From Aswan take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Day Trip To Abu Simbel From Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Private Day Trip To Abu Simbel 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 Private Day Trip To Abu Simbel From Aswan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip To Abu Simbel From Aswan?
+
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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Trip To Abu Simbel 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&Abu Simbel+Balloon, 4-Day Nile Cruise sails Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel.Hot air 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.
