Abu Simbel Tours.

Stand before the four colossi of Ramses II — private day trips to Egypt's most awe-inspiring monument, from Aswan or by air.

The Great Temples

Egypt's most awe-inspiring monument.

Carved into a mountainside by Ramses II and famously relocated to escape the rising Nile, Abu Simbel is the most dramatic sight in all of Egypt.

Our private tours visit both the Great Temple and the smaller Temple of Nefertari, with flexible options by road from Aswan or by domestic flight for maximum comfort.
