My trip to Abu Simbel was straight out of an adventure movie

Ancient wonders and desert magic—my trip to Abu Simbel was straight out of an adventure movie 🏜️👣! If you’re chasing lost pharaohs and real-deal history, this place is totally bucket list material. Must-See Places in Abu Simbel: 1. Abu Simbel Temples (Abu Simbel, Aswan Governorate 1211501, Egypt | 06:00-17:00): Start early to beat the tour groups and grab those awe-inducing photos minus the crowds. The sunrise light is unreal on the colossal statues! 2. Temple of Nefertari (8JQG+3M8, Abu Simbel, Aswan Governorate 1211501 | 06:30-16:00): A short stroll from the main temples, this is quieter but equally majestic. Don’t skip the intricate carvings inside! 3. Sound and Light Show - Abu Simbel (Abol-Hoal Square, Nazlet El-Semman, Abu Simbel): Book tickets for this night show that brings Ramses II’s world alive with epic projections. Insider tip: Layer up! Desert nights get chilly fast. 4. Sobek Park & Farm (8JMF+J4Q, Unnamed Road, Aswan Governorate): Chill break near ancient ruins. I found their local date snacks surprisingly addictive and it’s open all day, so you can drop by anytime. 5. Palace of Culture Tourism Abu Simbel (8JW8+4C3, Ramsis, Abu Simbel, Aswan Governorate 1211511): Hit up this spot for local art, music, and handicrafts—a cool detour if you want a taste of modern Egypt. Getting Around: Abu Simbel’s walkable, but taxis are an easy fallback—they’ll save you from serious sunburn. Food: Try felafel and Nubian bread at low-key cafes near the temples. Fresh juice stands are lifesavers after midday hikes. Don’t Forget: Cash is king here, and hours are legit—double check for special holidays. Sunscreen and hats are a must. #abusimbel #egypttravel #pharaohstour #desertadventure #templerun
