Itinerary

You will be met by your Legend Egypt Tours Egyptologist guide in your hotel lobby in Aswan for a very incredible day tour to Abu Simbel by bus. It will be an excellent day trip from Aswan, where your private bus driver picks you up in a deluxe air-conditioned bus, and your knowledgeable professional tour guide will be leading you to view a few of the most famous landmarks and sites in Egypt's most historic wonders.

Then, you will visit the outstanding Abu Simbel temples carved into the mountainside by King Ramesses II, one of the pharaohs of the Nineteenth Dynasty; these enormous temples were carved to represent the king and to worship the gods and his loving wife, Queen Nefertari. They display the excellence of the architecture and symbolize the might of the New Kingdom, the richness, and the artistry that he and Egypt achieved from historical wars that stretched throughout Asia and Africa.

The great Temple of Ramses II is built to honor the gods Ptah, Re-Horakhty, Amun-Ra, and himself; the Temple of Ramses II is well-known as the Sun Temple of Ramses II, while the second, small temple built for Queen Nefertari is dedicated to the goddess Hathor; Hathor symbolizes mother and woman, music, and beauty.

The most sensational aspect of the temples of Abu Simbel, which takes place twice a year on the 21st of February and the 22nd of October, is when the sun's rays penetrate the inner sanctuary of the temple for about 12 minutes and illuminate the statues of the gods, including Ramses II.

Following your visit, learn the history, take pictures with the expert guide, and then you will be back to Aswan again; your amazing day tour is completed.

 I had an absolutely exceptional experience in Egypt with Legend Egypt Tours, and I cannot recommend them enough especially my guide,. From start to finish, everything was seamless, organized, and beyond my expectations.
 As a 22-year-old female solo traveler, safety, comfort, and trust were extremely important to me, and exceeded all of that in every way. He was amicable, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind, making me feel completely at ease throughout the entire experience. His attention to detail and genuine care made traveling through Egypt not only smooth, but truly unforgettable.
 What truly sets apart is how thoughtful and attentive he is. He anticipated needs before I even had to ask, made sure I was comfortable at all times, and created an experience that felt both personal and special. Thanks to him, my first solo trip to Egypt felt empowering, safe, and deeply meaningful.
  If you’re considering traveling to Egypt, Legend Egypt Tours and are the gold standard. This wasn’t just a tour, it was a once in a lifetime experience that I will cherish forever. I would choose them again without hesitation and recommend them to anyone traveling to Egypt.
