Itinerary

Abu Simbel Day Tour from Aswan

 

Start your journey early with a hotel pickup in Aswan, where our guide from Respect Tours welcomes you aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As you drive through the tranquil Nubian Desert at sunrise, enjoy the shifting colors of the landscape on this scenic 3-hour route to Abu Simbel.  

 

Upon arrival, stand in awe before the colossal statues of Pharaoh Ramses II, carved into the mountainside over 3,000 years ago. Explore the Great Temple and the Temple of Queen Nefertari, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Your expert guide will reveal the temples’ hidden meanings, from solar alignments to sacred symbolism, and share the remarkable story of how the entire complex was relocated to escape flooding from the Aswan High Dam.   After your visit, stop for a local Egyptian lunch, then relax on your return drive. Arrive back in Aswan around 4:00 PM, filled with unforgettable memories of one of Egypt’s most powerful ancient wonders.

Great service, professional staff, quick response, and very comfortable vehicles I would like to sincerely thank the entire team for the excellent service and professional treatment throughout my experience with them. I truly appreciated the high quality of the service, the excellent condition of the vehicles, and most importantly, the quick response and the professionalism of your staff during the service. Thank you all for your great support and for making the experience smooth and pleasant. I highly appreciate your efforts and look forward to using your service again in the future. One small suggestion would be to keep the prices a little more reasonable and competitive. 😊 Thank you once again and keep up the great work!

Best travel agency This review is a true evidence to the great experience and happiness I had with this company. Honestly I've never dealt with people like the team at Respect Tours. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming especially Mr. David Asaad who is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. He is very kind easy to get along with and has a big heart. His professionalism was outstanding and he is also a great leader with confidence and knowledge I would also like to give a special thanks to our driver Mohsen. He was very friendly helpful and professional throughout our trips and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. I truly thank the wonderful Respect Tours team and wish them continued success and all the best.

Wonderful services - Respect Tour via Novotel Borg / Cairo Exceptional Support and Professionalism - Respect Tours - Novotel El Borg / Cairo I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Achraf Zaki and his colleague Ayman for their outstanding professionalism, kindness and dedication. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely confident and well taken care of. They took the time to understand our expectations and helped us choose the best options to discover and enjoy this wonderful city of Cairo in auguste 2026. Their professionalism, availability and warm attitude truly made a difference and contributed to making our stay even more enjoyable. We will certainly return to the same hotel on our next visit to Cairo, and it will be a real pleasure to have the opportunity to contact Mr. Achraf Zaki and Ayman again. Thank you both for your excellent support and for helping us create such wonderful memories of Cairo. We truly appreciate it! 🌟
