ABU SIMBEL:
Early morning wake up call of 3AM to start our 3:45AM journey to Abu Simbel, turns out all vehicles leaving to Abu Simbel have to leave as a convoy and there are only 2 times for this, early morning and later in the evening. We were doing the early morning circuit.... Meeting us at the security checkpoint were heavily armed men to check out all ouupr paperwork ...
Day 44 - Day 4 of tour - Cairo - Abu Simbel

Very easy drive today as it is the beginning of a 4 day ...

The ferry to Egypt
Today has been a really interesting day. I am currently lying on a ferry on the top deck just after sunset, I think we're now in Egypt and hopefully by about 10pm we'll see the temple of Abu Simbel lit up on the banks of the Nile. We were up and ready to leave our bush camp by 8am. Last night most of us slept under the stars on grass mats in the desert just outside Wadi Halfa. That is pretty amazing! We saw the moon rise as we fell asleep. We drove to the dock ...
