Aswan or Aswan and Abu Simbel?
A standard Aswan itinerary focuses on the city and its surrounding attractions, such as Philae Temple, the High Dam and the Nile. This option is suitable when your main goal is to discover Aswan itself.
In contrast, visiting Abu Simbel requires a longer itinerary. The temples are roughly 300 kilometres by road from Aswan, so additional travel time must be built into the programme. Therefore, travellers who want to see both destinations should choose a tour specifically designed to include Abu Simbel.
