About this experience
Leave Aswan early for the long desert drive to Abu Simbel, allowing roughly three to four hours each way.
At the site, your guide introduces the monumental façades and the story of the temples' relocation. Explore both temple complexes within the confirmed visiting time, then return to Aswan by the same road.
