Agència / operador turístic: Imperial Egypt - Cairo, Egipte
Fly from Aswan to make the most of your time at Abu Simbel, one of Egypt's most famous ancient sites found on the banks of Lake Nasser. Rescued by UNESCO in the 1960's, the impressive temples were painstakingly relocated 65 meters to higher ground to protect the site from rising waters created by the construction of the High Dam in Aswan. Depart your Aswan hotel or cruise ship and transfer to Aswan Airport for your flight to the small town of Abu Simbel. The flight is approximately 30 minutes and a local Egyptologist guide will meet you at Abu Simbel Airport to escort you to the shuttle bus which takes you through the town to the famous temples of Ramses II and his favourite wife Nefertari. 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 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 and 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 airport for your flight back to Aswan.

INFORMACIÓ SOBRE L'OPERADOR
Welcome to Imperial Egypt. We specialise in tours in all the major areas of this amazing country, Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Hurghada. Why would you want to visit a land that is just full of sand? Sand, yes, but also let’s not forget Egypt's awe-inspiring monuments, left by the pharaohs, Greeks and Romans as well as by early Christians and Muslims. Monuments that attract thousands of visitors every year and of course the odd film crew that have made epics such as Ice Cold in Alexandria, Lawrence of Arabia, and the magnificent TV series and film Stargate, they have all used locations in this beautiful country. Yet the pyramids, temples, tombs, monasteries and mosques are just part of Egypt's fascination. In the gargantuan city of Cairo the sound of the muezzin summoning the faithful to prayer competes with pop music and the screech of car horns and everywhere there are people swathed in long flowing robes or western-style clothes, hanging from buses, weaving through the daily obstacle course of animals and traffic. Then travel on to the relaxing resort of Hurghada to chill out, relax, soak up the sun, sea, and of course sand!!! The best time to visit Egypt depends on where you want to go. When visiting Upper Egypt, winter is easily the most comfortable time. June to August is unbearable in Upper Egypt, with daytime temperatures soaring up to 104°F (40°C). The happiest compromise for an all-Egypt trip is to visit in spring (March to May) or autumn (October - November). We promise you the best of service on the best of tours at the best of prices. Contact us after you have browsed our tours and selected the one that suits you and your itinerary the best. You will not be disappointed by us or by Imperial Egypt. |
