Abu Simbel Tour from Hurghada: both sites in one trip
This trip, from €320 per person, is built around the temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel and also covers Aswan. You spend one night in a 4-star hotel, so the trip is split over two days instead of being squeezed into one very long day.
It suits travellers for whom Abu Simbel is the main reason to leave the coast, and anyone who wants Abu Simbel already planned in rather than added later. The trip page lists the full programme, inclusions and exclusions.
Aswan Tour from Hurghada: Aswan first
The Aswan Tour from Hurghada, from €290 per person, is two days and one night with a comfortable transfer to Aswan and a full day of sightseeing. Abu Simbel is an optional add-on, so you decide whether to include it.
It suits travellers who want time in Aswan itself, or who have already seen Abu Simbel. The trip page lists which Aswan sights are in the programme. To compare individual Aswan visits such as Philae, a Nubian village or a felucca, read our Aswan tours guide.
More time? The 3-night Nile cruise from Hurghada
If you can spare four days, the 3-night Nile cruise from Hurghada from €590 runs Hurghada, Aswan and Luxor. It includes private transfers from Hurghada, three nights full board on a 5-star cruiser and sightseeing at Philae, Kom Ombo and Edfu, with Abu Simbel as an optional add-on.
It suits travellers who want Aswan and Luxor in one trip without changing hotels. If two days is all you have, stay with one of the two shorter trips above.
What to confirm before you book
Before you pay, confirm four things in writing: whether Abu Simbel is included or added, which hotel you stay in, which entry tickets are part of your price, and your pick-up time from your Hurghada hotel. We confirm all of this in a written quote, and the final price depends on your date and group.
We do not quote a driving time here because it depends on the route and the day; ask us when you request availability.
