Overview
Our specially curated Abu Simbel Tour allows you to witness the incredible event of Abu Simbel Festival. The highlight of the festival is the mesmerizing phenomenon that occurs twice a year on February 22nd and October 22nd. As the sun rises, its rays penetrate the inner sanctuary of the Great Temple of Ramses II, illuminating the statue of the pharaoh while leaving the statue of the god Ptah in darkness. This awe-inspiring sight is a testament to the remarkable engineering and astronomical knowledge of the ancient Egyptians.
