Private Tour : Abu Simbel by Minibus

Nov. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- On the short walk to the temple entrances, your guide will begin to explain the history of the site, including details of the UNESCO led relocation of the entire cliff face to higher ground, and how the temples were discovered by accident in 1813. Due to the large number of visitors to Abu Simbel, guides are not permitted inside the either the Great Temple of Ramses II of the smaller Temple of Hathor, however using photos and illustrations, your Egyptologist guide will explain to you the structures and their interior artworks. You will then have free time to enter the temples to explore at your leisure.

As one of the few ancient Egyptian sites which largely escaped destruction and damage by past invaders of the country, the interior of both temples at Abu Simbel is astounding. The scale of the buildings and detail of their decoration leaves most visitors in awe. The attraction of the temples is further enhanced by their scenic location on the edge of Lake Nasser in the orange sands of the desert.

After visiting the temples there may be time for a short visit to the small visitor's centre which documents the UNESCO relocation project, before returning to the minibus for the drive back to Aswan. The drive is approximately 3 hours each way.
