Hight Tours’ Egypt Abu Simbel tour offers one of the most comprehensive ways to experience Egypt in just 8 days, bringing together the country’s most remarkable destinations in one carefully planned itinerary. The journey takes you through Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Luxor, ensuring you experience the essential highlights of ancient and historic Egypt.
Your Cairo experience begins with a private Egyptologist guide who accompanies you to the legendary Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum, home to Tutankhamun’s famous golden treasures and more than 100,000 ancient artefacts. You’ll also discover the lively atmosphere of Khan El Khalili Bazaar and wander through the historic streets of Islamic Cairo.
After flying to Aswan, you’ll explore the magnificent Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddesses Isis and Hathor, as well as the Unfinished Obelisk, which remains in its original ancient quarry. The following morning, you’ll travel by guided coach to Abu Simbel to admire its spectacular twin temples, carved into the sandstone cliffs by Ramesses II and dedicated in part to his queen Nefertari during the 13th century BC.
Back in Aswan, you’ll board the Salacia Nile Cruise and begin your journey north toward Luxor. Along the way, the cruise stops at some of Egypt’s most impressive ancient sites, including Kom Ombo Temple and the Temple of Horus at Edfu. In Luxor, you’ll visit the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, and the magnificent Karnak Temple.
