Things to do in Abu Simbel, Nile River Valley: The Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals

June 20, 2021 Oliva Fomby

Abu Simbel is a charming, compact town—it's navigable by foot and makes an easy daytrip from Aswan. However, the town's main attractions, the Temple of Ramses II and Nefertari's Temple of Hathor, were almost lost to the rising waters of Lake Nasser in the 1960s. Fortunately, UNESCO stepped in and saved them, preserving the intricate carvings inside both structures. After exploring the temple interiors, take in stunning views over the lake and desert. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

Thank you for a stress-free and reliable service. It was easy to book and love that they are very detailed and professional and connect you to your driver via whatsapp so that you can communicate if needed. I used Cairo shuttle from airport to my Giza hotel and then back to the airport. Both times the drivers were very kind, professional and on time and also a great value. The cars were very good, clean and drivers were wearing masks. I highly recommend this company and if return to Cairo will definitely be using them again.
