Abu Simbel is a 3 hour drive from Aswan but well worth it. Simply amazing, there are two temples built by Ramses II. No photos allowed inside the temples.Well worth a visit. It cost £80 per person to do the trip. Small walk from the...More

This was a great experience. I had to take a 3 hours on road to get from Aswan to Abu Simbel but it was totally worth it! I got inlove with this temples. Amazing structures and history behind them. Very recommended.

A great trip - albeit quite a journey on coach from Nile - what an amazing place so pleased we made the journey !

Abu Simbel is actually quite a very good monument. The complex consists of the Abu Simbel temples and Nefertaru temples and they attract loads of tourists in Egypt maybe only second to the pyramids of Giza. it is a 3.5 hr drive from Aswan and...More

A bit off the tourist track, but an amazing monument built by Ramses II. Even more amazing that UNESCO helped to save the temple by moving it 60+meters higher when the Aswan Dam was built. Carvings inside the two temples are fascinating as well as...More
