How do you get to Abu Simbel from Aswan?

Abu Simbel is 280 km south of Aswan. You can travel by private car (3 hours), join a convoy tour, or take a short 45-minute flight from Aswan. We recommend the flight for comfort.

Why is Abu Simbel famous?

Abu Simbel features two massive rock temples built by Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BC. The temples were famously relocated in the 1960s to save them from rising Nile waters after the Aswan High Dam construction – one of the greatest archaeological engineering feats in history.

What is the Sun Festival at Abu Simbel?

Twice a year (February 22 and October 22), sunlight penetrates the temple to illuminate the inner sanctuary statues. This solar alignment was precisely calculated by ancient Egyptian architects over 3,000 years ago.
