点评:15 years ago, we were so tired on a Nile cruise and decided to skip the Abu Simbel tour at 3 am. I have been regretting my mistake for 15 years and made a second trip to pay for it. The temple was more grandeur than I saw on the pictures. The trip to the temple was much longer than I imagined and took me 3 hours from Aswan. I would highly suggest anyone not to join a 3/4 am tour group because you will be pulled into a large crowd from cruise boats which need their guests to return before 3 pm to sail on to the next destination. Just hire a car by yourself which costs less than $200. There is really no need for any tour guide because everything is on Google. And, tour guide is NOT allowed in the temple any way. You can enjoy a comfortable breakfast and leave for the temples around 10 am. When you arrive at 1 pm, you will find much smaller crowds and no need to fight for photo spots. Instead of tour group’s 1.5 hour stay, you can stay as long as you want to have serene view of the temples and the lake in front of them. Finally, don’t forget to watch the video in the visitor center or on YouTube beforehand. You can appreciate the past efforts to protect this temple from being underwater.
翻译:15年前,我们在尼罗河游轮上实在太累了,决定放弃凌晨3点的阿布辛贝神庙之旅。15年来我一直后悔这个决定,于是又去了一次,弥补之前的遗憾。神庙比照片上看到的还要宏伟壮观。去神庙的路程比我想象的要长得多,从阿斯旺出发花了3个小时。我强烈建议大家不要参加凌晨3、4点的旅行团,因为你会挤进一大群游轮游客中,而游轮需要赶在下午3点前把游客送回,以便前往下一个目的地。不如自己租辆车,费用不到200美元。其实完全没必要请导游,因为所有信息都可以在谷歌上找到。而且,导游是不允许进入神庙的。你可以悠闲地享用早餐,大约10点出发前往神庙。下午1点到达时,你会发现人少了很多,不用费力去抢拍照位置了。您可以自由自在地游览寺庙,而不是像旅行团那样只停留一个半小时,尽情欣赏寺庙和前方湖泊的静谧美景。最后,别忘了提前在游客中心或YouTube上观看相关视频,了解过去人们为保护这座寺庙免遭淹没所做的努力。
