Abu Simbel Travel Essentials
The best time to visit Abu Simbel is from October to April, when daytime temperatures range between 15°C and 28°C. This makes it comfortable to explore the temples without the harsh desert heat. May to September is very hot, often above 40°C, but early morning tours are still possible. The twice-yearly Sun Festival on 22 February and 22 October, when the sun illuminates the temple’s inner sanctum, is a highlight for many visitors.
Ideal Duration & Popular Itineraries
Abu Simbel is usually visited as a 1 to 2 day excursion, often combined with Aswan. Popular formats include:
- 1 Day: Early morning drive or flight from Aswan, guided visit to the temples of Ramses II and Nefertari, and return.
- 2 Days: Overnight stay in Abu Simbel to see the temples at sunset and sunrise, sometimes timed with the Sun Festival.
Top Things to Do
- Explore the colossal Temple of Ramses II, with its iconic statues and battle reliefs
- Visit the Temple of Queen Nefertari, dedicated to Hathor
- Witness the Sun Festival alignment in February and October
- Stroll by Lake Nasser and admire the view of the relocated temples
- Visit the Abu Simbel Sound and Light Show in the evening
