Frequently asked questions
When does the sun light the inner sanctuary at Abu Simbel?
Twice a year, around 22 February and 22 October, the rising sun reaches deep into the Great Temple to light the statues in its inner sanctuary. We can time your journey to include one of these days.
What should I wear to visit temples in Egypt?
Light, loose clothes that cover shoulders and knees, a hat and good walking shoes. Most temples are open-air ruins, so sun cover matters more than formality. Women may want a scarf for visits to mosques and churches in Cairo.
