Abu Simbel Tour From Aswan by Plane

The Abu Simbel tour from Aswan by plane offers an exceptional opportunity to explore one of Egypt’s most iconic historical sites in a single day. This half-day tour flies travelers from Aswan to Abu Simbel and back in a single morning, visiting the Temple of Ramses II and the Temple of Queen Nefertari. Pickup is from Aswan hotels, with a short domestic flight replacing the multi-hour desert drive used on car-based Abu Simbel tours. It is the only Abu Simbel excursion in the Aswan portfolio that departs by scheduled plane rather than private vehicle.

The day begins with hotel pickup in Aswan and transfer to Aswan International Airport for the flight to Abu Simbel. On arrival, a private vehicle takes travelers to the Abu Simbel archaeological site, starting with the Temple of Ramses II, then the adjacent Temple of Queen Nefertari, also known as the Temple of Hathor. After both temples, travelers fly back to Aswan and transfer by private vehicle to their hotel.

No other half-day flight tour from Aswan combines round-trip domestic air travel with entry to both Abu Simbel temples inside a 6-hour window.
