Discover Upper Egypt on an Aswan Abu Simbel Overnight Trip

Experience the magic of southern Egypt on an unforgettable Aswan Abu Simbel Overnight Trip from Hurghada. This two-day journey allows you to explore ancient temples, admire the Nile’s beauty, and immerse yourself in Nubian culture.

Unlike standard day tours, the Aswan Abu Simbel Trip gives you more time to enjoy each destination at a relaxed pace.

Day 1: Explore Aswan Highlights

After an early pickup at 4:00 AM, travel south toward Aswan, famous for its peaceful atmosphere and unique Nubian character.

Visit the Aswan High Dam

First, explore the impressive Aswan High Dam, one of Egypt’s most important engineering projects. The dam regulates the Nile’s waters and generates electricity for the country.

Discover Philae Temple

Next, visit the beautiful Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Originally located on Philae Island, UNESCO relocated the temple to Agilkia Island in the 1970s to protect it from flooding.

Inside the temple complex, admire carvings of Isis nursing Horus. Additionally, see the Roman pavilion of Emperor Trajan, which still stands at the entrance.

After your visits, enjoy free time along the Nile and overnight accommodation in Aswan.

Day 2: Abu Simbel Temple Experience

Early in the morning, continue your Aswan Abu Simbel Overnight Trip with a journey to the spectacular Abu Simbel Temples.

Carved into the mountainside by Ramses II, these temples rank among Egypt’s most magnificent monuments. Four colossal statues of Ramses II guard the entrance. Inside the sanctuary, statues of Amun-Ra, Ra-Horakhty, Ptah, and Ramses II sit side by side.

Remarkably, twice a year — on February 22 and October 22 — sunlight illuminates the inner sanctuary, except for the statue of Ptah.

After exploring Abu Simbel, begin your return journey to Hurghada, arriving around 10:00 PM.
