Abu Simbel by Air(Charter flight) - Visita culturale a Aswan - Egitto

Descrizione: 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.
