I am intending on doing the "kingdoms of the Nile" tour in october and was curious if there would be enough time to go to Abul Simbel, with time to still enjoy Aswan?
After arriving back in Cairo, I am thinking of going to Jordan and Israel. Can any one recomend tours. I really only have two weeks, so i want something that will cover the " best things to see" (if that is what you would say)
Cheers Rachelle
Re: Enough time in Aswan
Dear Rachelle
Glad to hear that you are coming over, we hope it will be the best of your holidays.
If you want to visit Abu Simbel I can assure you that you will still have enough time to explore the beautiful city of Aswan.
You will arrive to Aswan in the morning of day 5 where you will have a whole day in Aswan, then next morning you can fly to Abu Simbel and you will be back to Aswan in the afternoon. Then you will have a free morning on day 7 before you board our Nile cruise "Amy" in the afternoon and commence the cruise trip to Luxor.
Jordan and Israel are two great places to visit in the Middle East,we also run tours through Jordan and Israel. You can check in our brouchre or on our web site for these tours, one is called Ancient cities & desert Kingdoms and the other is called Middle east Safari which is a combination of two tours, Jordan connection and Israel connection.
Both tours are for two weeks and as you said they cover "the best things to see". Check these tours and I am sure that you will book both!
Have a nice trip , surly you will have a ball !
