When to go

Good to know

• Abu Simbel is a very early excursion from Aswan, so plan for an early departure and a light breakfast if needed.
• For felucca trips, confirm the duration and route in advance so the experience matches your schedule.
• Bring sun protection, comfortable walking shoes and a light layer for cooler evenings on the Nile.
• Philae Temple is reached by motorboat, so allow additional time for the boat transfer before and after the visit.
• If visiting a Nubian village, modest and comfortable clothing is recommended.
• For longer sightseeing days, carry water and keep some time available for rest between visits.
