Overview

Experience the perfect contrast of ancient Egypt by exploring the colossal temples of Abu Simbel and the intimate, rarely-visited Tombs of the Nobles at Qubbet el-Hawa in this exclusive private tour.

Unlike standard group experiences, this customisable journey allows you to explore at your own pace, lingering at intricate hieroglyphics or colourful tomb paintings that capture your interest.

Perfect for history enthusiasts, photography lovers, and families seeking authentic experiences beyond tourist crowds. Your knowledgeable guide reveals connections between royal propaganda at Abu Simbel and the everyday life scenes in noble tombs.

This unique combination offers what others cannot: the chance to compare Egypt's most photographed monument with hidden cliff tombs most visitors never see, creating an unforgettable journey through both royal power and aristocratic life in ancient Egypt.
