This magnificent day excursion from Aswan by flight takes you to one of Egypt's most awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the legendary Abu Simbel temples. Fly comfortably to this remote location where you'll stand in awe before Ramses II's monumental rock-cut temple facade, guarded by four colossal 20-meter tall seated statues of the pharaoh. Explore the interior halls adorned with intricate carvings depicting his military victories and religious scenes, then visit the neighboring Temple of Hathor dedicated to his beloved queen, Nefertari. Learn about the incredible international rescue operation that relocated both temples to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. This unforgettable journey showcases ancient Egyptian engineering at its most ambitious, offering a profound connection to pharaonic power and artistry in a breathtaking desert setting.
You will be picked up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan by a representative from Your Egypt Tours and accompanied by your private Egyptologist guide for a scenic flight to Abu Simbel.

Discover the temples’ remarkable relocation in the 1960s and learn about their astronomical alignment — a masterpiece of art and engineering.
