Private Abu Simbel and Aswan Day Tour with Domestic Flights from Cairo

At the break of dawn, a representative from Five S Travel will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and transfer you comfortably to Cairo International Airport to begin your journey.

You will take a domestic flight heading first to Aswan, then continuing onward to Abu Simbel. Upon arrival at Abu Simbel Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by a knowledgeable Egyptologist tour guide from Five S Travel, who will be waiting for you holding a sign with your name to ensure a smooth meeting.

Your unforgettable day tour in Aswan starts with a visit to the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples, located on the western shore of Lake Nasser, about 230 kilometers southwest of Aswan and close to the Sudanese border. These extraordinary temples were built by Pharaoh Ramses II around 1255 BC as a powerful symbol of his reign and devotion. They were hidden beneath the desert sands for centuries before being rediscovered about 200 years ago.

The grand temple is dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, and is famously adorned with four colossal statues of Ramses II standing majestically at its entrance. Nearby, the smaller temple honors the goddess Hathor and is a tribute to Ramses II’s beloved wife, Queen Nefertari, with impressive statues depicting her presence.

After thoroughly exploring these architectural marvels and soaking in the fascinating history, you will board a domestic flight back to Aswan, where your adventure in the heart of Upper Egypt continues.
