Abu Simbel Temples (original) (raw)

The best time to visit Abu Simbel really depends on your preferences. If you’re sensitive to heat, it’s best to avoid the summer months when temperatures can exceed 100°F. The winter months (December to February) are cooler, making it a more comfortable time to visit. If you prefer a quieter experience, consider visiting during the shoulder season (April to May and September to November) when the crowds are thinner. Additionally, if you want to experience the unique Abu Simbel Sun Festival, plan your trip during February or October.
