hurghada
Hurghada war ursprünglich ein Fischerdorf und hat sich längst zu einer dichten Ansammlung von Resorts und Hotels entwickelt, die mehr als 20 km entlang der Küste marschieren. Es ist ein großartiges Ziel, um einen Tauchurlaub mit den Tauchplätzen im Niltal zu kombinieren. Weiter vor der Küste gibt es noch viele hervorragende Tauchmöglichkeiten; lokale NGOs helfen der Stadt beim Aufräumen, und der südliche Ferienort und Sigalas funkelnd moderner Yachthafen haben Hurghada etwas Glanz zurückgebracht.

Route
Abu Simbel Trip
Depart Aswan to journey 280 kilometers to the stunning rock-carved temples of Abu Simbel. Relocated to the west banks of Lake Nasser, the temple complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the "Nubian Monuments." On arrival, take a short walk to the temple entrance, where your Egyptologist guide will explain the history of the site. Hear details of the UNESCO-led relocation of the entire cliff face to higher ground, and how the temples were only discovered by accident in 1813. Due to the large number of visitors, guides are not permitted inside the Great Temple of Ramses II or the smaller Temple of Hathor. However, by using photos and illustrations your guide will explain the structures and their interior artworks before giving you some free time to enter the temples and explore at leisure. As one of the few Ancient Egyptian sites that largely escaped damage from past invaders, the interiors of the Abu Simbel temples are astounding. The scale of the buildings and their detailed decorations leave most visitors in awe. The experience is further enhanced by the scenic location on the edge of Lake Nasser in the orange sands of the desert. After visiting the temples, benefit from some time for a short visit to the small visitor's center to see documents relating to the UNESCO relocation before the drive back to Aswan.
