Aswan To Abu Simbel
Posted: Tue December 18, 2007 11:14 AM UTC
We'd like to visit the temple after the cruise ends on Friday but I cannot find any flights at all from/to Aswan. Egypt air website states no flights (?) available in late Jan. What other options do I have???
Thanks

Seems to be some problem in reservation sub- system. When you look in "timetable" you can see the flights. I presume they fix the problem with booking database during first days of January. Or just contact some travel agent.

Your otehr option would be a sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan. It will leave around 8 pm arriving in Luxor around 8 am and to Aswan at 9 a.m. I don't rember the fair but it was around 120 L.E

I useed this service in 2003 and it was great. You can also fly to Abu Simble from Cairo.

I think she will be in Aswan at the end of the cruise. And I think the cruise will offer a trip to Abu Simbel for a very exorbitant price (we payed 75$ per person 5 years ago, learned it can be done for 75 LE = 11$ about average).

You will go with the convoy. It leaves at 5am, so expect to raise early! And you will arrive with lots of other people!

I am looking into the same thing. I want to avoid the convoy so I would like to take a plane from aswan to abusimbel then back to Cairo. But,I have also found it difficult to book this flight thought Egypt Air web site.

Has anyone done this?
