Breakfast. Early morning departure to take the Abu Simbel excursion by road. The tour departs from Aswan in the middle of the night, around 3:00 in the morning. We left so early to arrive at the temples first thing in the morning and avoid the stifling heat of midday. Along the way we can enjoy something unique: the sunrise in the desert. After about 3 hours of travel we will arrive at Abu Simbel, the very famous complex made up of two temples excavated in the rock, one dedicated to Ramses II and the other to Nefertari, his first wife. The construction took about 20 years to build and was done under the reign of Ramses II. The state of conservation of the temples is excellent, since they were buried under the sand until the 19th century. Our guided tour will last 2 hours, enough time to discover every corner of both temples and learn all their stories and anecdotes, such as why they are preserved in impeccable condition, how they were moved, and what Egypt did in exchange for the international aid. After enjoying this gem we will return to Aswan, arriving shortly after noon. In the evening we will enjoy a light and sound show at the temple of Isis in Philae. Return to the cruise, dinner and overnight on board.
