A trip from Marsa Alam to Aswan and Abu Simbel is best done as a 2-day or 3-day overnight tour due to the significant driving distance involved. A single-day trip is highly discouraged, as the direct drive from Marsa Alam to Aswan takes about 5 hours, and reaching Abu Simbel requires an additional 3 hours of desert travel each way.
