Unveil Ancient Wonders: 2-Day Aswan & Abu Simbel Expedition from Marsa Alam

Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Marsa Alam, heading south through Egypt’s captivating landscapes. Upon arrival in Aswan, you’ll explore the majestic Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, nestled on an island and accessible by a short boat ride. Next, marvel at the engineering prowess of the Aswan High Dam, a monumental project that tamed the mighty Nile. Conclude the day’s explorations with a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk, offering insights into ancient stone-working techniques. After a day steeped in history, relax in a comfortable Aswan hotel, savoring local cuisine and the city’s serene ambiance.

Rise before dawn for a journey to the awe-inspiring temples of Abu Simbel. Carved out of a mountainside, these colossal structures were commissioned by Pharaoh Ramses II and stand as a testament to ancient Egyptian artistry and devotion. The Great Temple, adorned with four towering statues of Ramses II, and the Temple of Hathor, dedicated to Queen Nefertari, await your discovery. After immersing yourself in the grandeur of these monuments, return to Aswan for lunch before making your way back to Marsa Alam, carrying memories of Egypt’s profound legacy.
