Itinerary and highlights
pick up at 4:00 am at your hotel in Aswan, then crossing the desert by private vehicle air-conditioned on the coolest morning. Go to Abu Simbel to see the great temple of Ramses II and the temple of Queen Nefertari, both discovered in 1813 when they were almost entirely covered with sand.
Find out how they were displaced in 1960 with the help of the Egyptian government and UNESCO to avoid rising waters of the Nile. See the mural depicting the famous victory of Ramses II at the Battle of Qadesh and admire the small temple he built for his favorite wife, Queen Nefertari. Marvel at the rock sanctuary and its incredible bas-reliefs before returning to Aswan to be dropped
