Start your journey with a convenient pickup between 4:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and travel in comfort in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle on a scenic 3-hour drive through the Sahara Desert. Along the way, enjoy a short break at a desert rest stop and witness the impressive Toshka Project, Egypt’s ambitious desert reclamation and irrigation initiative. Upon arrival at Abu Simbel, you’ll meet your professional Egyptologist guide, who will bring the history of this extraordinary site to life.
