Your representative will pick you up from your starting point in Aswan by private A/C vehicle to transfer you to Aswan Airport to enjoy a flight to Abu Simbel. When you arrive our qualified Egyptologist Guide will be waiting to meet and accompany you on your tour. The two Temples of Abu Simbel with their unique style are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate in order to save these temples from the floods which would flood over 28 monuments. Hidden behind the chambers statues and hieroglyphics adorned every wall. The Temple of Ramsses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re and to Ramsses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramssess II.The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way the two Temples, that of Ramsses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II Nefertari Hathor and the Sun God together as one.

Seeing Abu Simbel Temple was amazing and I am overall glad that I went and saw it. I do not know that it is worth the high cost to fly rather than drive (and I did not do that drive so cannot compare it). You really only need an hour or so at Abu Simbel to see both temples so you are traveling (or sitting in the airport to travel) for about 5-6 hours so keep that in mind. The reason for 3 stars in my review is due to the lack of communication with the company. Our flight was changed without us being told and I only noticed when checking in for our flight the night before. That's not much time to fix anything when you have a 5am pickup. I finally was shown our flight confirmation on WhatsApp but only because I repeatedly asked. When we were dropped at the airport, our driver also did not have our correct flight information but he got us into the airport with whatever information he had. Once we went to the desk to check in our luggage, they could not find tickets attached to our passports and only because I had requested confirmation the night before did I have what was needed. It made for a stressful night prior and a stressful morning. Our flights were also delayed (not their fault obviously) but communication to us that if flights are delayed, then the return flight is also delayed automatically to give you enough time to see Abu Simbel. So much of our stress could have been alleviated with a little more communication to us. For that reason, I'd recommend seeing Abu Simbel, but it is easy enough to do on your own or have your travel advisor put together. I went as a travel agent to test out the different tours and I wouldn't book my clients on this one unless communication were to be improved. Our guide once we got to Abu Simbel was fine-he did a speed talk version of the information and left us to see the temple on our own. It was good information and I'm glad we had a guide but it was not extraordinary. As another reviewer posted, it was a bit confusing on the shuttle bus process and we did not think we had time to wait for them so we took a private taxi. If we had known about how flight delays were treated, we would have saved ourselves the money and taken the shuttle bus.
