Tour Overview

Sign up and dive into the Nubian Heritage in Upper Egypt. The Nubian civilization dates back at least 10,000 years from the Neolithic era and ruled Egypt for 100 years during the 25th Dynasty as the Kingdom of Kush. Ramses the Great built his Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel and dedicated one of the temples to his Nubian wife, Queen Nefertari. Though divided between the south of Egypt and northern Sudan, the Nubian culture survived. Visit the archaeological remains, the Nubian Museum and enjoy a modern day Nubian Village.

Day 1 : Cairo To Aswan

Location: Aswan High Dam, Cairo, Nubian Museum, Nubian Village

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Lunch

You are picked up from your Cairo accommodation for a domestic flight to Aswan.
The tour starts with a visit to the Aswan High Dam, the long studied solution to control the flooding of the Nile. A construction that forced the displacement and relocation of the Nubian population.
During your visit to the Nubian Museum, you learn about the Nubian history from pre-historic times and the Pharaonic period to Coptic and Islamic influence.
After lunch in a good local restaurant, you board a motorboat to one of the modern day Nubian Villages along the Nile where Nubian culture, language, music and literature is kept alive. You experience at first hand that the Nubian culture survived throughout the ages. Encounter the people, admire the colourful houses and shop for the handmade artefacts, clothes and souvenirs.
You will spend the night at an Aswan Luxury 4* to 5* Hotel.

Day 2 : Aswan - Abu Simbel - Cairo

Location: Abu Simbel Temples, Aswan, Cairo

Accommodation: Hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

An early rise (03.00 AM), check out and a 3 to 4-hour desert trip brings you to the southernmost archaeological site The Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel where you visit the temples, commissioned by Ramses II for himself and his most beloved wife, the Nubian Queen Nefertari. Like the Nubian population, the temples were relocated in the 1960s due to the construction of the High Dam and the creation of the reservoir, Lake Nasser.
You drive back north to Aswan International Airport for a domestic flight to Cairo.

Incroyable accueil

20-Jan-2022

Nous avons utilisé cette agence pour notre voyage à Luxor et que dire... Cette agence a la chance de posséder un employé exceptionnel du nom de Kamal, qui s'est occupé de nous comme des membres de sa famille et qui ; grâce à sa bonne humeur, sa réactivité, ses contacts, son professionnalisme et sa gentillesse sans limite, nous a fait passé un moment inoubliable dans cette magnifique ville qu'est Luxor. Cet homme a été notre coup de cœur du voyage et j'espère que l'on se reverra bientôt!! Merci encore Kamal pour tout !! 😘

Lovely Nile Cruise Luxor-Aswan and Abu Simbel

17-Apr-2020

Because of previous experiences with EgBride Travel (excursions, an Omra and two cruises), we decided to approach Mohamed again to arrange another Nile Cruise. With all our wishes in mind, he booked us a beautiful luxury cruise on board the MS Opera together with a mesmerising trip to Abu Simbel. Thank you for excellent service and priceless insight to what we were looking for. We wish the entire EgBride Team all the best in this difficult time, and we will definitely be contacting you for our next adventure.

One day Abu Simbel

15-Feb-2022

One of the best outings ever. Our guide Hossam explained everything about the construction and the relocation of the temples. Lake Nasser had an amazing view but the best part was watching the sunrise in the desert.

Weiter So!!

16-Jan-2022

(Translated) In October and December 2021 we booked a trip with 20 orphan girls to the Sidi Mansour play bark. Everything was perfect Two people were there to look after and had everything under control. We were very satisfied and would like to thank the team again. Next time we visit Luxor we will plan another trip with you. Keep it up!! (Original) Im Oktober und Dezember 2021 haben wir jeweils einen Ausflug mit 20 Waisenmädchen zum Spielbark Sidi Mansour gebucht. Es hat alles perfekt gepasst Zwei Leute waren zur Betreuung dabei und hatten alles im Griff. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und bedanken uns nochmals bei dem Team . Beim nächsten Besuch in Luxor werden wir wieder einen Ausflug bei Euch planen. Weiter so!!
