Abu simbel Overnight Experience

Información

Some of Egypt’s most amazing sights combine on this overnight tour to Aswan, a city on the Nile south of Luxor. For starters, it’s home to a bit of an engineering feat, the Aswan High Dam which was built in 1960 to stem the floodwaters of the Nile. You’ll also get to visit Philae Temple, a massive island temple dedicated to the goddess Isis. Another treat is Edfu, a stunning collection of colonnades, friezes and statues carved in the spooky image of the falcon-headed god, Horus. But the star attraction is Abu Simbel. Built in the 13th century BC, its Great Temple will leave you totally humbled. Gaze wide-eyed at the four colossal statues of Ramses II at its entrance. Tiptoe around its pillared halls. And check out the intricate hieroglyphs telling stories from long-ago times. You’ll soon see why archaeologists are calling it the Eighth Wonder of the Ancient World.
