Discover one of Egypt's most spectacular ancient monuments on this unforgettable Trip to Abu Simbel by Car from Aswan. Travel comfortably through the Nubian Desert to visit the world-famous temples of Abu Simbel, built by Pharaoh Ramesses II and dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah.
Your private journey begins early in the morning with pickup from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Aswan. Meet your professional driver and travel south in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle toward Abu Simbel, located near the southern border of Egypt.
After approximately three hours on the road, arrive at the magnificent Abu Simbel archaeological site. Your first view of the Great Temple is unforgettable. Four colossal statues of Ramesses II sit at the entrance, each representing the power and authority of one of ancient Egypt's greatest pharaohs.
Explore the interior of the Great Temple and admire its impressive halls, enormous statues, detailed reliefs, and scenes showing the military victories and religious beliefs of the New Kingdom.
Continue to the nearby Temple of Queen Nefertari, dedicated to the goddess Hathor and built in honor of Ramesses II's beloved wife. The temple is famous for its beautiful façade, where large statues of Ramesses II and Queen Nefertari stand side by side.
One of the most remarkable stories connected to Abu Simbel is the relocation of both temples during the 1960s. The monuments were carefully moved to higher ground to protect them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser following the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
After exploring the temples and enjoying free time for photographs, begin your comfortable journey back to Aswan.
This Abu Simbel day trip by car is ideal for history lovers, families, couples, photographers, and travelers who want to experience one of Egypt's most impressive UNESCO World Heritage sites in a comfortable and flexible way.

I am 6 feet tall and 220 lbs. This shirt fit me perfectly in the chest and shoulders. My only complaint is that it is so long! I like to wear polo shirts untucked. This shirt goes completely past my rear end. If I wore it with ordinary shorts, you probably wouldnt be able to see the shorts at all – completely hidden by the shirt. It needs to be 4 to 5 inches shorter in terms of length to suit me. I have many RL polo shirts, and this one is by far the longest. I dont understand why.

The shirt was not the fabric I believed it to be. It says Classic Fit but was made like the older versions, not the soft cotton like my others. I don’t understand how the labels are the same but a completely different shirt. Oh well, stuck with it now.
