Das Beste Assuan, Luxor, Abu Simbel & dem Nubischen Dorf ab Assuan 3 Tage

Heute Morgen holt Sie der Reiseleiter von Egypt Gift Tours Egyptology von Ihrem Hotel in Assuan, dem Flughafen oder dem Bahnhof ab, um die Highlights von Assuan zu besichtigen.

Beginnen Sie Ihren Tag mit dem Hochdamm, um eine moderne Errungenschaft der Ägypter zu sehen, für deren Bau sie 10 Jahre brauchten, von 1960 bis 1970, sehen Sie den zweitgrößten künstlichen See der Welt, den Naser-See, und überqueren Sie das Emblem der Freundschaft.

Weiter geht es zum Philae-Tempel, wo Sie eine kurze Fahrt mit dem Motorboot zum Philae-Tempel unternehmen werden. Der Tempel wurde nach dem Bau des Hochdamms von der UNESCO an seinen heutigen Standort verlegt, um eine Überflutung zu verhindern. Die Insel wurde sorgfältig so ausgewählt, dass sie der ursprünglichen Umgebung entspricht, auf der der Tempel ursprünglich erbaut wurde. Genießen Sie freie Zeit, um die Schönheit des Tempels und seiner Umgebung zu erkunden.

Anschließend fahren Sie zu den Granitsteinbrüchen von Assuan, um den unvollendeten Obelisken zu besichtigen, der mit einer Länge von 40 Metern und einem Gewicht von 1000 Tonnen als der längste und schwerste Obelisk gilt, der jemals in Ägypten geschlagen wurde und wahrscheinlich der berühmten Königin Hatschepsut gehört.

Nehmen Sie Ihr Mittagessen in einem lokalen Restaurant ein (fakultativ). Anschließend fahren Sie mit einem Motorboot den Nil hinunter, um das nubische Dorf auf der Insel Soheil zu besuchen. Besuchen Sie eine der nubischen Familien und nehmen Sie ein Willkommensgetränk (Tee mit Minze oder Hibiskus). Spazieren Sie durch das Dorf und sprechen Sie mit den Nubiern. Ihr Reiseleiter wird Ihnen etwas über ihr Leben erzählen und Sie sehen die Schule, in der sie ihren Kindern die nubische Sprache beibringen. Segeln Sie zurück in die Stadt und fahren Sie zu Ihrem Hotel in Assuan.

Egypt Gift Tours tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan from 4 to 4:30 am by air-conditioned vehicle to hit the road to Abu Simbel to start your tour to the fascinate colorful temples of Abu Simbel. Drive for about 280 kilometers, approx. 3-4 hours through the Egyptian desert and watch the sunrise over the mountains.

­ 

Upon arrival, buy your tickets, then take a short walk to the temple entrance. Your Egyptology guide will explain the history of the site. Hear details of the UNESCO-led relocation of the entire cliff face to higher ground, and how the temples were only discovered by accident in 1813.

­ 

Due to the large number of visitors, guides are not permitted inside the Great Temple of Ramses II or the smaller Temple of Hathor. However, by using photos and illustrations your guide will explain the structures and their interior artworks before giving you some free time to enter the temples and explore at leisure. As one of the few Ancient Egyptian sites that largely escaped damage from past invaders, the interiors of the Abu Simbel temples are astounding. The scale of the buildings and their detailed decorations leave most visitors in awe. The experience is further enhanced by the scenic location on the edge of Lake Nasser in the orange sands of the desert. After visiting the temples, benefit from some time for a short visit to the small visitor’s center to see documents relating to the UNESCO relocation project (time permitting) before the drive back to Aswan.

­ 

­Drive back to Aswan, for another 3 to 4 hours and take the evening train to Luxor. Once you arrive at Luxor train station, you will be met by our representative to be transferred to your hotel in Luxor east bank for an overnight.
