We depart Aswan in the morning ((Pick up will be 06.00 AM)) to visit Abu Simbel, We have a guided tour with one of our Egyptologists and some free time before we drive back to Aswan (approx. 3 hours’ drive each way, with around 2 hours at the temples).
The temples built by Ramses II at Abu Simbel are one of Egypt’s highlights, and have a fascinating story behind them to go with their impressive size. When Lake Nasser was flooded, the final water level was going to submerge several temples, the most important of which being Abu Simbel. The temple was therefore dismantled completely and rebuilt further up the hillside where it sits today. The temple stands today as a testament to Ramses II and the great building prowess of the ancient Egyptians, as well as to modern engineering.

You will pass by the colossi of Memnon which are remains of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.
Then you will enjoy your tour discovering the East bank of Luxor including Karnak Temples Complex, which are the largest structures ever build in the history of the mankind. The principal building is that of god Amun Ra, since it was considered the house of god on the earth, the earlier structure date back to the middle kingdom, but there are some references which refer to the earlier buildings as old as the 3rd dynasty. Later on, you will proceed to visit Temple of Luxor, which was built by one of the kings of the 12th dynasty and completed by the well know king Ramses II.
