Today would be another excited day as we going to visit the majestic Abu Simbel. The guide come and meet us at 7:30am, check out from Philae hotel and continue our Abu Simbel day tour.
We reached Abu Simbel around 10am and visited both temple built by King Ramses and also Queen Neferteri temple.
The existing temple is a lifted and move from the original location that is in risk damage by the higher water level of the river.
The whole lifting process is a huge project by UNESCO and well documented.
We completed the temples by noon and then departed from Abu Simbel and have local Egyptian lunch in between the tour.
Reach back Aswan around evening just before sunset for the Nile cruise check in to MS Radamis 2.
We manage to slot in a Felucca ride for Nile river sunset.
Then we had our first dinner at the Nile river cruise. There are some confusion at the cruise as the administration mix up us with the other boat with full of Malaysian. We managed to resolve and settle the confusion especially when we engage our own tour guide especially for this Nile river cruise.
-Next Day-
