Overview

Fly from Cairo to Aswan and visit the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples, Egypt’s most iconic monuments of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari. Enjoy a seamless day trip with round-trip flights, private transfers, and expert Egyptologist guidance.

Discover the grandeur of ancient Egypt on a full-day excursion from Cairo to Abu Simbel — one of Egypt’s most breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Your journey begins with an early morning flight from Cairo to Aswan, where you’ll be met by your professional tour guide. Enjoy a scenic drive through the desert to Abu Simbel, located near the Sudanese border.
