What you'll see and do
Temple of Philae
The Philae or Isis Temple stood on Philae Island south of Aswan, and after the construction of the high dam, the temple was under water for several months of the year. Therefore, the temple was transferred to the neighboring island of Agilika from 1977 to 1980. In 553 AD, the temple served as a church, so much of the relief in the temple was destroyed.

Exploring Aswan, Abu Simbel and Nubian culture shows you a beautiful and unforgettable side of Egypt
We had an amazing two day trip from Hurghada to Aswan with stay in the Moevenpick on Elephantine Island. It was a long drive but our driver Mohamad was excellent. We even managed to have an additional overnight stay because Aswan is so beautiful. Our knowledgeable and inspiring guide Abanoub showed us the Unfinished Obelisk, the Great Dam and wonderful Philae temple. The additional light show is a must! A great experience to explore a different side and hear the story. Abu Simbel is an additional 3 hour drive but more than worth the experience. It is breathtaking from the inside and outside and immerses yourself in a different time. Abanoub explained the story and depictions in the two temples very well and took great pics. On the way back we see Kom Ombo. The trip allows you to see a different, more rural and authentic side of Egypt. If you can take some more time in Aswan tonight explore the old souk. Spending two nights in Aswan really makes a difference! A fantastic trip!

Longest Road Trip Ever
When I booked this tour, nothing could have prepared me for how challenging it was going to be. It was a great scenic trip in theory but a ridiculously long journey when we set out. Basem and Michael were super efficient in keeping my spirits up and keeping me informed as I made my way to Abu Simbel for the for the first time. I enjoyed the road trip nonetheless but I recommend air travel for this trip instead.
Response from the operator: So delighted to hear that you had a great time and so happy that we could help make your holiday a special and memorable time for you , I would like to mention that there's not Air travel from hurghada to Aswan! We hope to see you again soon Thank you so much for choosing to be a customer and a friend of trip tip Egypt

Two Day Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Two Day Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Two Day Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Hurghada is not rushed.
Is Two Day Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Hurghada 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 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Two Day Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Hurghada?
+
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 Two Day Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 11. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Two Day Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Two Day Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Hurghada 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. 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 Hurghada?
+
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 Hurghada?
+
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.
