Abu Simbel and Aswan Tour from Luxor

On the second day, you will continue your Abu Simbel tour, and the breakfast box will be prepared by the hotel in Aswan. After this, it is set for one of the striking Egyptian day tours of Abu Simbel, accompanied by your English tour guide and driver to visit the two Temples of Abu Simbel for King Ramses II- a live testament to some of the highest in glory and grandeur in the new kingdom era. Had there not been an international salvage campaign under the supervision of the Egyptian government and UNESCO, these temples would have drowned by now, given the upheaval of water behind the dam.

Nubia was a land so important to Egyptians owing to its gold and numerous other precious trade goods that the king erected grand temples there to impress upon the Nubians Egypt's might and Egyptianize the people of Nubia. The Temple of Ramses II further devoted itself to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and Ramses-II himself.

The great Abu Simbel temple is additionally called the Sun Temple of Ramses II. The Temple of Queen Nefertari, the adored wife of King Ramses II, is also called the Temple of Hathor, who is rather symbolic as the wife of the Sun God. So both temples here, that of Ramses and that of Nefertari, bring Ramses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the Sun God Amun in perfect union.

After that, you will be transferred back to Aswan and proceed to your hotel in Luxor after enjoying some of the best things to do in Luxor.
