  2. Abu Simbel Temple

    Explore the majestic Abu Simbel Temples, built during the reign of the great Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BC. These two magnificent rock-cut temples are dedicated to Ramses II and his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari. Considered masterpieces of Egypt's New Kingdom, these temples were saved from flooding when the Aswan High Dam was constructed, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Egyptian government and UNESCO. Your expert Egyptologist guide will lead you through the Great Temple, honoring Ramses II and four gods, and the smaller Temple of Hathor, dedicated to Queen Nefertari. You’ll learn fascinating details about the intricate carvings and statues, and the heroic efforts made to relocate these structures. After spending about 2 hours exploring the temples, you'll return to Aswan.

Tour to Abu Simbel Temples and Nubian Village Of Aswan with Guide: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Tour to Abu Simbel Temples and Nubian Village Of Aswan with Guide cost?

+

Prices start at $88 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 Tour to Abu Simbel Temples and Nubian Village Of Aswan with Guide take?

+

Plan for about 11 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 Tour to Abu Simbel Temples and Nubian Village Of Aswan with Guide 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 Tour to Abu Simbel Temples and Nubian Village Of Aswan with Guide?

+

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 Tour to Abu Simbel Temples and Nubian Village Of Aswan with Guide suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Tour to Abu Simbel Temples and Nubian Village Of Aswan with Guide?

+

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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Tour to Abu Simbel Temples and Nubian Village Of Aswan with Guide 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.
