AbuSimbel.com exists to answer one question well: how do I make the most of a visit to Abu Simbel?
It is a harder question than it looks. The site is 280 km from the nearest city, the temperature decides half your itinerary, most visitors get two hours on the ground, and the difference between arriving at 07:00 and 10:00 is the difference between a monument and a queue. We built this site to gather everything a first-time visitor needs in one calm, clutter-free place: honest tour comparisons, practical transport advice, and guides to the temples that go beyond what fits on a signboard.
What we do
- Curate and compare the best Abu Simbel tours, tickets and day trips.
- Explain every way to get there in our Aswan to Abu Simbel guide.
- Write practical guides to the temples, the Sun Festival and Lake Nasser.
- Help you time your visit with our best time to visit guide.
- Compare where to stay, because a night in Abu Simbel changes the trip.
