But I was very stoned. Beautiful but. Go Taiwan. Prelevato alle 3.40 a.m. dall'hotel, dopo una gradevole compagnia con 6 ragazzi per 4 ore arriviamo di fronte a questo sito archeologico pazzesco. Ma ero molto stanco. Bellissimo ma. Forza Taiwan.Visited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 8 October 2023
- Ryan SCardiff, United Kingdom1,123 contributionsMy favourite historic attraction in EgyptAbu Simbel is by far the best attraction in Egypt, forget the Pyramids of Giza this place is just as good. There are 2 temples here one for Rameses II and his wife and Queen Nefertary. The Rameses II Temple is beyond fantastic and impressive inside and out. From the 4 huge statues of Rameses II to the many decorative walls, this temple is just incredible. The smaller temple of Nefertary has 6 statues and a smaller interior. The 2 temples were all moved as well and the mountain they sit under is all man made. This attraction is famous for historical engineering and modern engineering. I came here from a Nile Cruise excursion which was an optional tour from Aswan which costed £100. Even though the cost was ridiculously over-priced it was damn worth it and it just cannot be simply missed. Its 3 hours and 30 minutes from Aswan and the tour started at 4:30am for the coach journey. You get about 2 hours at Abu Simbel. Also, the shopping bazaar is ridiculous its overly long and the staff there are waiting to harass you, there must’ve been like 20 members of staff there all harassing you to buy something. Overall a well worth place to visit and I am so glad I paid the overly priced excursion to see Abu Simbel.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 October 2023
- MF018The Woodlands, Texas475 contributionsLong trip. Worth every mile !Abu Simbel for me is the 2nd best in Egypt, after the Gizé pyramids. All very well preserved, a masterpiece of the Egyptian civilization. Also an incredible work to relocate the temple. We took a bus from Aswan to Abu Simbel. 3hs each way. Later I discovered there flights from Aswan that took 30 min.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 28 October 2023
- RazorfishLittle Rock, Arkansas5,281 contributionsMind blowing how it was originally built but also that it was moved so precisely in 1960sMy wife and I flew from Aswan to Abu Simbel as part of our two week Egypt tour thus past December. It is mind blowing how Abu Simbel was originally built, but also how it was so precisely moved in the 1960s to avoid being flooded by the Aswan Dam. I remember seeing the photos in Life magazine when the move was taking place. What I didn’t realize was that the tunnels were built into the hillside at the same angles as the original. This temple complex was one of the highlights of our Egypt tour. Our tour operator was genius in flying us into the site as the early tour buses (which started their bus drives at 4:00 a.m.) were completing their tours. Do not engage any of the vendors as you walk through the “Valley of the Vultures” or they will follow you back to your tour bus trying to sell you something.Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 November 2023
- Arthur MHamilton, Canada1,663 contributionsLikely the most iconic site of Egypt outside the pyramids!In our visit to Abu Simbel, we had to leave Aswan extremely early and witness the sunrise over the Sahara and it was a nice sight to see. As for the temple itself, turns out every tour leaves early in the morning too, and so the lineups to the entrance are massive. But close to the end of the alloted time in the temples, the lines thin out, and it is the best time to take a look at the temples. But I would recommend going to the smaller one first before the big one. Because most of the crowds the day of our visit went to the big one first, then to the small one. Luckily we stayed long enough to see the crowds thin out and was able to get decent pictures. Hard to believe all of these were relocated piece by piece, it just looks pretty much like the original!Visited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 24 November 2023
- betteskidBoston, Massachusetts1,329 contributionsNot to be missedWe visited here during our stay in Egypt and found it to be an amazing place. The two huge temples had some of the best decoration we saw in Egypt and the scale was massive. We are so fortunate that these temples were saved when the Aswan Dam was constructed. Seeing them in person really helps you understand the work involved in preserving them for us to see today.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 18 December 2023
- RedlizziemDevon, United Kingdom267 contributionsAllow time and stay in Abu Simbel overnightNext best experience after the Giza Pyramids, with views of Lake Nassar and accessible temples. Never mind the engineering, or the Sound and Light show. Thankfully we chose a tour that inckuded an overnight stay in Abu Simbel and this made all the difference to our visit, giving us an arrival time outside of the day visitors and the evening Sound and Light. Very much enjoyed this location, though I recogthe high prices for snacks mentioned by other reviewers.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 19 December 2023
- Bill B9 contributionsIf you can combine this site with others in the south of Egypt, it's totally worth the trip!We started our trip at this site and it was amazing! Learning the history about the site was mind blowing that they moved the entire structure to save it from being flooded by the creation of the Aswan dam. Both temple sites were beautiful and majestic, and being inside felt like you were stepping back in time. If you can make it down to Abu Simbel it's definitely worth the trip.Visited January 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 29 December 2023
- phait_leeKuala Lumpur, Malaysia596 contributionsWow wow wowWoke up early at dawn to drive to Abu Simbel. It was a long drive - 3.5 hours through the desert. But it was all worth it. This is an amazing complex of Ramsese II and next to it is his most favoured wife. This is not the original site which is submerged in the lake. It is amazing that it took 4 years to move the temple from original site to higher ground (current site) and maintain as much as possible to original structure and wondrous. This is a must see when in Egypt.Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 30 December 2023
- travaller60Wellington, New Zealand124 contributionsThe highlight of our Egypt trip!!!Absolutely incredible complex and is a MUST-DO IN EGYPT! Highly recommend flying from Aswan instead of driving the 6+ hours return as we only spent 1.5 hours max at Abu Simbel. Also not a lot of shade outside the temples so make sure to bring a hat and lots of water! Genuinely the highlight of the trip for us even over the Pyramids of Giza!!!! The workmanship of relocating the temples in 1964 piece by piece is mind blowing and left us speechless as photos do not do it justice!Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 16 January 2024

The one thing that strikes you as you round the corner of the plateau is the statuesque 4 figures of Ramasses and his creation.
We visited the light show on the previous evening, (staying over night in The Tuya Hotel - see review) which by western standards was "ok!" Nothing really speciale by today's standards. But you do these things on vacation.
However, our visit and interest was on the next morning. We thought about going to see the sunrise and then return later after the many bus tourists from Aswan had vacated the temple site. Worth while to do this as the sunrise is breath taking but also very few people are about at that time. And on the 22nd Feb/22ndOct there is the revelation of Ramasses as a god.
Our main visit was between 10.00 - 10.30 and we stayed till 12.30. 2.5 hrs with only 30 tourists on the terrain. Thus if you have time, and plan to visit in these times you will not be disappointed. Remarkably the amount of people there were able to enjoy the two temples of Ramasses (dedicated to Ra-Harakhty, Ptah and Amun, Egypt's three state deities of the time, and features four large statues of Ramesses II in the facade) with out the mass of tourists that usually are amassed there on buses. Further you are able to view , in both temple's, the beautiful hyrogliph's created by the artists of ancient Egypt.The second smaller temple is dedicated to Hathor, but also dedicated to the pharaohs wife Nefertari. Notice on the front facade the alternating figures of Ramasses & Nefertari with different crowns.
They, the temples, serve as a lasting monument to the king and his queen Nefertari and commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. Their huge external rock figures have really become iconic.
You can read about the history of this temple in books and on the internet, but what is more fascinating and unbelievable is the monumental move of the 2 temples. Do not forget to (either before or after your visit) go to the visitor's centre and appreciate the more modern history of this site. Moving the 2 temples, in all their splendor, and recreating with complete accuracy the temples some 200 meters back and 65 metres higher; now that is incredible. When you look at books and articles on this historic site, it beggars belief that this was not the original site of the 2 temple complexes.
Truly a worth while visit.

When I went to Abu Simbel from Luxor I didn't find much info to go... The local people will tell you that the best option is to pay a private vehicle but is so expensive from Luxor. My option and I think that was the best, just buy a train ticket in Luxor train station to Aswan(+-60egp) and in Aswan stay at a hotel near to train station, the majority of hotels in Aswan sells the tour to Abu Simbel (+-350egp May 2019) the private bus(just for tourist) leaves Aswan at 3am.

Visiting Abu Simbel has been on my ‘bucket list’ for many decades. I was not disappointed. We decided to fly from Aswan to Abu Simbel. The only flights are from Aswan and in April 2022 they left Aswan at 10:20 am arriving about 45 minutes later. The return flight (only to Aswan) left at 08:30 am. This meant that we had two nights in Abu Simbel and stayed at the delightful Kabala Nubian guest house. I recommend it. We paid £115 for two people for two nights bed and breakfast. The guest house is a 25 minute walk to the temples which we visited in the late afternoon and morning. They are stunning! At 6 am we were surprised to see 7 coach tours arrive – and imagine it was even busier later in the morning as groups traveled overland from Aswan. However, at around 7.30 am there was a lull in visitors and I was able to take pictures without crowds spoiling the atmosphere. The surprise to me was that inside the temples there are wall paintings, carvings and large figures too. Quite a lot to see! We did stay for the excellent sound and light show (300 EGP) and it was well worth it. Innovative lighting and good sound effects (headsets provided your own language) made an enjoyable and interesting show. And it looks lovely floodlit!

It is so hard to imagine the scope of lifting this complete temple mount in situ and seamlessly from its flooded location at the bottom of Lake Nasser, to its current location almost directly above.
When the Aswan dams were built, they flooded the Nile creating a lake that is one of the largest in the world, that was going to cover some of the oldest, rarest, and most intact (even some as yet undiscovered) historic relics in the world. Realizing the loss to the people of the world to flood these, the Egyptians, UNESCO, and many other partners (including other nations) got together to save some of these temples and monuments. Rameses II's temples at Abu Simbel are a perfect example.
Unless you are a huge historian and have studied, it is best seen with an Egyptologist as your guide.
Here, with very fine stone saws, they literally surveyed, sliced, labeled, lifted, and put back together, the temple, exactly as it was before the flooding. If you did not know better, you would think that Rameses had built it in that mountain location 5 thousand years ago. the work done, the interpretive center showing the process, and everything that still exists is fabulous! A place you must go to if you want to understand even more about Egyptian history. Then remember that Rameses final burial temple was in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor - hours and hundreds of miles away in modern transportation terms, much less antiquity terms.
As with all the monuments and temples, be wary of the vendor cluster you have to walk through to get in /out of the site.

Where should I start? The fact that the ancients built this place so that on one day each year the sun shone down a tunnel onto a specific statue or that a few thousand years later we dug the whole thig up to save it from the rising waters of the Nile (after building the high dam) and moved it several hundred feet back and up? No real mechanical help and a lot of the cutting was done by hand saw; very large handsaws and very strong men! The overall result is incredible with the only error in the whole operation being that, when the temple was moved, the fact that the sunrise on a particular day hit one figure at the end of an entry tunnel was miscalculated. Due to the fact that the elevation of the new site differed from the original, sunrise onto the figure was one day different. But, all in all still pretty impressive!

I have visited all important places in Egypt. Abu Simbel was the last one for me to see. What a schock ! It is impressive. Same feeling for me as discovering The Treasure in Petra Jordania or Angkor Tom in Cambodia : a big unique emotion. We went there twice. Day 1 at 4:30 pm, by boat to discover the temple from the lake first. Then we staid until the night show at 6:30, very impressive (very cold also). We came back the day after at 9:00 am as we were trying to avoid the big crowds of the sunrise. However it was still too early. At 10:00 AM, the site was almost empty, all groups had left and we could enjoy the place just for us. Breathtaking !

Abu Simbel is amazing. Of course, I thought nearly everything we saw in Egypt was amazing. We were lucky that on the next to the last day of our tour down the Nile River we had a flight from Luxor to Aswan to tour the temples before we flew back to Cairo. The flight was a little crazy in that all 20 people on our tour had a ticket with the same random name on it. IDs were never checked and we had to store our luggage in a food stand while we toured the temples. Often referred to as the Sun Temples, the two enormous sandstone structures were originally built in 1255 BC by the great Pharaoh Ramses II to honor himself and his favorite wife Nefertiti. Ramses reportedly had over 200 wives. The two temples with their unique style reflect the glory and grandeur of the New Kingdom and are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. The larger temple, dedicated to the Egyptian gods, features four large statues of Ramses II on the facade and inside a mural depicting his famous victory at the battle of Kadesh. The ancient Egyptian architects positioned the entrance in such a way that on October 22 and February 22, the rays of the sun would enter the sanctuary and illuminate the faces of all the sculptures on the back wall except for one. The statue of Ptah, a god connected with the Underworld, always remained in the dark. The smaller temple is dedicated to the love goddess Hathor, with statues designed to embody Nefertari. These were part of a group of six rock temples erected near the border of southern Egypt during the long reign of Ramses II. Their purpose was to impress Egypt’s southern neighbors by demonstrating the power and supremacy of Egypt, and to also reinforce the status of Egyptian religion in the region. Originally, Abu Simbel was located on the west bank of the Nile but the construction of the Aswan High Dam and creation of Lake Nasser in the mid 19th century threatened to submerge the temples. Fortunately, UNESCO and the Egyptian government sponsored a project to save the site. Between 1963 and 1968, a team of engineers and scientists dug away the top of the cliff and completely disassembled both temples, then reconstructed them on higher ground. In all 16,000 huge blocks of stone were moved. If you have time, check out the visitor center that charts how both temples were relocated, piece by piece, to save them from the flooding. It's hard to believe, but reportedly, this is Egypt's most-visited site after the Great Pyramids. (PaM)

It is a very long drive from Aswan, but an incredible site to see. Our guide told us many things about the complex but guides cannot go into the temple with you.
We were not in a hurry since this was the only site on our itinerary for this day so we waited in the shade for lines to dwindle. It was very crowded but after about 45 minutes more people were leaving than arriving. This meant we were in the temples with very few other people and we did not wait in line outside in the sun. Our patience paid off.
We paid 20 pounds per person to take the golf cart instead of walking and I found that to be money well spent.
While we were very glad to have gone, the long day of driving makes me hesitant to reccommend this for everyone.

It is amazing to think first of the ancient Egyptians building this and the technology to get the sun to shine on the faces of the gods at sunrise twice a year. Then to think that in the 60's the temple was taken apart and moved to its current location due to Lake Nasser being filled due to the High Dam put in in Aswan. When they moved the temple they got everything almost correct as the day the sunrise shines on the faces of the gods was one day off.

Abu Simbel is a magnificent temple carved straight into the body of rock. Visiting it requires a rather long way through the desert as it is located far from any modern city. The more it overwhelms you to see the grand statues of Ramesses II rising suddenly among sand. The complex consists of two temples, one dedicated to Ramesses II and another to his wife, Nefertari. It is said that the temple was built so that sunlight touches the statues of Amun and Ramesses twice a year for a few minutes, leaving the statue of Ptah in darkness. I do not know whether the effect has been preserved after the temple has been transferred stone by stone to avoid flooding during the construction of Lake Nasser. Anyway, the temple is definitely worth a visit!

Hi does the entrance ticket allow multi entry? I plan to stay over night. If I buy a ticket on the first day afternoon, can I use it again on second day morning?
Or do I need a ticket at all on the second day morning? If I just want to take some outside photos of the temples with morning light?

Hi, we are staying overnight. Do you hire a guide to take you to the light and sound show and then back to your hotel?
Written 24 September 2019
Lots of answers I agree with. I wouldn’t go anywhere at night without an escort. Yes.
Why will you hire a guide when there's sounds telling the story about Abu Simbel. You just need to buy a ticket at the ticket counter and go in. True
It is not far from the hotels so get a taxi to take you there. Usually the hotel will arrange a transport to see Lights and Sounds.
You dont need a guide for the S&L Show. Honestly. you do need transport to get there from your hotel. Usually the hotel will provide that and a person / driver / guide to take you there and make sure you get back safe. Talk to whoever you are booking it with!
Have fun!

If you do Abu Simbel through a tour they will set everything up for you. If you want to get to the airport it is best to take a taxi. You can get cheap rates if you bargain with the driver. However if you take the train I have heard it is reliable. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
