A standard road trip to Abu Simbel takes approximately 3 hours each way. Most tours depart early in the morning (around 4:00 AM) to arrive before the midday heat, returning to Aswan by lunch.
Yes, you can take a full-day tour to Luxor from Aswan via private vehicle or train. This typically includes visits to the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and Hatshepsut Temple before returning in the evening.
The peak season is from October to April when the weather is pleasantly cool. If you visit during the summer (May to September), it is highly recommended to book tours that start very early in the morning to avoid the afternoon sun.
