Arriving in Abu Simbel
Abu Simbel is the deepest point of most Egypt itineraries: two rock temples above Lake Nasser, three hours across empty desert from Aswan. Nearly everyone goes at sunrise, when the light hits the facade and before the heat.
We run it as a private car with the driver waiting at the site, which means you set the departure time rather than a convoy or a coach schedule.
