Itinerary and highlights
Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative and experience the awe of Egypt's Great Temple of Abu Simbel
this incredible monument, carved by King Ramesses II around 1264 BC, and marvel at its façade, featuring four colossal seated statues. One statue fell due to an ancient earthquake; its fragments still lie on the ground. Witness the magic of the Sun Festival, an extraordinary event that occurs twice a year, when the sun aligns perfectly to illuminate the temple's inner sanctum, lighting up the statues of the gods and Ramesses himself. This natural phenomenon showcases the architectural brilliance of the ancient Egyptians.
Your adventure concludes with a return to Aswan, leaving you with memories of Egypt's wonders.
