Itinerary
After the pyramids, Abu Simbel is one of Egypt's most famous sites. The temple there was built 3000 years ago to honor Ramses II and his wife, Queen Nefertari. Four powerful figures of the pharaoh stand over 60 feet tall. This temple, which has remained nearly intact over the ages, was rescued from the rising water of Lake Nasser by a team of UNESCO engineers, by cutting the entire structure, moving it stone by stone and reassembling it from 1964 to 1968.

Testimonials
We had a fabulous trip! We have been talking about it non stop with friends and family since we have been home. Thank you so much for arranging everything for us. All representatives were efficient, helpful and pleasant to deal with. The highlight of the trip was our Egyptologist Joseph. He was so knowledgeable, organized, efficient and most of all fun. We all wanted to adopt him and bring him home with us. We certainly will recommend your tour to others. We selected the optional tour of the Super Safari - what a blast - great variety of activity and tons of fun. We also took in the Sound and Light show at the Pyramids but were disappointed in this. We were very pleased with the optional Cairo, Alexandria and of course the Abu Simbel tours as well. Well worth the time and money. Thanks again. |
