02Overview

A first look

Beyond Hurghada’s Red Sea shoreline, the city gives way to desert terrain and a quieter horizon. The contrast is the point here: a jeep safari takes the focus inland, away from the usual city sightseeing, before the telescope activity turns attention to the sky.

The product details do not name the route or the objects observed, so we will confirm what the telescope session covers before you book. We can also check the meeting point, departure and return times, pickup availability, and practical requirements, so you know what to expect before setting out.

Aswan

Abu Simbel by Plane from Aswan, Day Tour

A full-day, return flight from Aswan to Abu Simbel with a guided visit to the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Small Temple of Nefertari. You fly from Aswan International Airport (ASW) to Abu Simbel Airport (ABS), flight time about 40 to 50 minutes. We favour the flight option because road transfers take about three hours each way, which reduces time at the temples. Pickup is from your Aswan hotel or Nile cruise gangway; expect to be ready 90 to 120 minutes before the scheduled domestic flight. Services are provided by Discovery Tours Egypt, a licensed Egyptian tour operator.

Aswan

1 Days

Abu Simbel by Road from Aswan (Day Tour)

Drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel by road, a 280 km transfer taking about 3.5–4 hours each way. Our Egyptologist accompanies the transfer and guides you at both temples: the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Small Temple of Nefertari. We normally depart before sunrise (around 3:00–3:30 AM) so you arrive for morning light and cooler temperatures; expect roughly two hours on site. Distinctive point of view: we prefer road transfers because they avoid airport queues and deliver a predictable schedule. Trade-offs: it is an early start and a long round trip, with limited shade at the site midday.

Cairo

Alexandria 2 Nights from Cairo – Wadi El Natrun, Pompey's Pillar, Catacombs

Two nights from Cairo visiting Wadi El Natrun and Alexandria: Pompey's Pillar, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Graeco-Roman Museum. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator; our driver meets you in Cairo arrivals or your hotel with a name card. Unlike one-day coach tours, we overnight so you can start early in Wadi El Natrun and spend meaningful time inside the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Catacombs. Standard site entrance fees are included. Expect two long drives (Cairo–Alexandria about 225 km, roughly 2.5–3 hours each way) and walking on uneven ancient stone at several sites.
