Itinerary: Day Trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan by Private Vehicle

A typical day trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan by private vehicle includes a pickup early in the morning around 3:00–4:00 AM, a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle ride for four to five hours, a private Egyptologist guide to lead you through the temples, a visit to the Great Temple of Ramses II and the Temple of Nefertari, and an early evening return to your Aswan hotel.  

Seeing these stunning UNESCO World Heritage monuments, which were infamously relocated to prevent the High Dam’s rising waters, is a lengthy but fascinating excursion.

Included:

  • The hotel Pick-up and Drop-off: At the conclusion of the trip, you will be taken straight back to your Aswan hotel. 
  • Comfortable and contemporary air-conditioned transportation for the trip to and from Abu Simbel is provided by a private air-conditioned vehicle. 
  • A skilled, informed guide who will offer historical background and insights into the temples is known as an Egyptologist. 
  • Bottled Water: During the trip, refreshments are served, usually in the form of bottled water. 
  • Entrance/Admission Fees: Most packages include the price of admission tickets to the Abu Simbel temples.

Not Included:

  • Meals and Drinks: You’ll probably have to pay for lunch and other drinks yourself; however, some trips may include bottled water. 
  • Optional Excursions: Verify what is included because most excursions that aren’t specifically listed in the tour schedule aren’t. 
  • Personal Expenses: Any purchases you make for yourself, including trinkets, fall under this category. 
  • Tipping: Although tipping guides, drivers, and service personnel is customary in Egypt, tour rates seldom ever cover these expenses. 
  • Admission Fees: While some tour companies charge an admission fee separately, others consider it optional and include it in the price.  Always confirm what is included in the tour.
  • Visa: The price of the tour does not include the purchase of a visa for admission into Egypt. 
  • Local Guide at Abu Simbel: Since this may be an optional add-on, some excursions might not include a local expert at the location.
