On the short walk to the temple entrances, your guide will explain the history of the site, including details of the UNESCO-led relocation of the entire cliff face to higher ground, and how the temples were discovered by accident in 1813.

Departing Luxor early in the morning at approximately 5:15 AM, travelers will enjoy a guided tour with an experienced Egyptologist and have some free time before returning to Aswan (approximately a 3-hour drive each way, with around 2 hours spent at the temples). All transfers and the guide are included. The temples constructed by Ramses II at Abu Simbel are among Egypt’s most remarkable attractions, with a captivating history that complements their impressive scale. When Lake Nasser was flooded, the rising water levels threatened to submerge several temples, the most significant being Abu Simbel. Consequently, the temple was meticulously dismantled and relocated further up the hillside to its current location. Today, the temple stands as a tribute to Ramses II and the extraordinary architectural skills of the ancient Egyptians, as well as a marvel of modern engineering.
