Abu Simbel Overview

abu simbel to aswan


Most tours to Egypt don't include a visit to Abu Simbel, since it is at the most southern point in the country and it accessible only by air or by convoy from Aswan. It sits on the Sudan border, which is closed to most traffic. The site can only be reached by air or on a Nile Cruise. While there is a road from Aswan.However, we ran into a few people who came by road-convoy, so it apparently is possible to get there on the desert road (280km) from Aswan. Your best bet is to fly in on EgyptAir, which has several flights a day. Most tourists fly in to the site in the morning, and spend a few hours, then fly back to Aswan in the afternoon.
