Plan your Egypt Abu Simbel tour with this tour package to Egypt—explore Cairo, Aswan & Luxor on an 8-day Nile cruise. Send your dates to start.
Memphis Tours' Egypt Abu Simbel tour is the most complete tour package to Egypt available in a single 8-day itinerary — covering Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Luxor with nothing left out. In Cairo, your private Egyptologist guide takes you to the Great Pyramids of Giza, the iconic Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum, housing Tutankhamun's golden treasures and over 100,000 ancient artefacts. You also explore Khan El Khalili Bazaar and the medieval streets of Islamic Cairo. Flying south to Aswan, you visit Philae Temple — dedicated to the goddesses Isis and Hathor — and the ancient Unfinished Obelisk still resting in its quarry. The next morning, a guided coach takes you to the UNESCO-listed twin temples of Abu Simbel, masterpieces carved into sandstone cliffs by Ramesses II and his queen Nefertari in the 13th century BC. You then board the Salacia Nile Cruise in Aswan and sail north to Luxor, stopping at Kom Ombo Temple, Horus Temple at Edfu, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, and Karnak Temple. Every hotel, domestic flight, full-board cruise cabin, private guide, and entrance fee is included by Memphis Tours.
