Prepare for a captivating journey to the iconic Abu simble Temples, one of Egypt's most extraordinary archaeological wonders. Our Abu simble Private Trip from Aswan offers you an exclusive and intimate experience, allowing you to explore these magnificent temples dedicated to Ramses II and his beloved queen, Nefertari.
Early Morning Departure: Your day of exploration begins with an early morning pick-up from your Aswan hotel or a designated meeting point. As you set out on your journey to Abu simble, your expert Egyptologist guide will provide you with historical context and fascinating insights into the significance of these temples.
Abu simble Temples: The highlight of your trip is undoubtedly the Abu simble Temples, which were carved into the mountainside during the reign of Ramses II in the 13th century BCE. The Great Temple of Ramses II is a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture, adorned with colossal statues of the pharaoh and intricate carvings depicting his military victories and divine connections.
Adjacent to the Great Temple, you'll discover the Temple of Hathor and Nefertari, dedicated to Ramses II's beloved queen. This smaller but equally remarkable temple showcases exquisite reliefs and statues, with Nefertari depicted as the goddess Hathor.
Solar Alignment Phenomenon: One of the most astonishing features of the Abu simble Temples is the solar alignment phenomenon that occurs twice a year, on February 22nd and October 22nd. During these days, the sunlight penetrates the temple's inner sanctum and illuminates the statues of Ramses II, Ptah, Amun, and Ra-Horakhty, while the statue of the god Ptah remains in shadow.
Time to Explore: You'll have ample time to explore both temples, admire the colossal statues guarding the entrance, and marvel at the intricate hieroglyphs and artwork that tell the story of Ramses II's reign.
Return to Aswan: As your awe-inspiring visit to Abu Simbel concludes, your guide will accompany you back to Aswan, where you can reflect on the grandeur and historical significance of these ancient temples.
