We will meet you at your hotel at Cairo Airport, where we will board a flight to Abu Simbel, located in southern Egypt.
We will head to the architectural district for a guided tour of the Abu Simbel temples, which were built by Ramses II, known as the “Pharaoh the Builder.” Following his victory at the Battle of Kadesh against his enemies in Anatolia, Ramses II wanted to dazzle his subjects with a magnificent temple dedicated to the gods. We will learn the secrets surrounding this mysterious place upon entering the main gate, where we will be greeted by two colossal statues of Ramses II himself.
We will also visit the smaller temple, dedicated to Nefertari, Ramses II’s favorite wife. This temple boasts a stunning facade, and here you can test your hieroglyphic knowledge and decipher some of the texts carved into the rock. We will then head inside to continue unraveling the mysteries hidden within the fascinating world of ancient Egypt.
After our visit to the archaeological site, we will head to the nearby Abu Simbel Airport, just 20 minutes from the temples. In Cairo, we will then return to our hotel.
