Have Clothes, Will Travel
If you’ve been following along with my Egypt outfit posts, you’ll know the formula for dressing for these sights. However, Abu Simbel does have an extra element to take into account.
You’ll be in the hot sun, like anywhere else in Egypt, and, as a woman, it’s a good idea to dress modestly. So, out of all the outfits you pack for Egypt, wear whichever one will BREATHE and dry the best for Abu Simbel.
Out of all the outfits you pack for Egypt, wear whichever one will BREATHE and dry the best for Abu Simbel. The dress I wore was actually perfect! However, it is a linen blend, so I figured it would work well for a day of sweating – and it did!
You’ll be on a paved path for walking. There are some loose stones and pebbles that can get caught in your sandals on the walk out to Abu Simbel, which might get a little annoying for some. I was comfortable wearing sandals for this adventure, though.
The coolest part about this outfit, though, is my snazzy new necklace. It’s my name written in hieroglyphics! How cool is that? I bought it when we first arrived in Cairo.
This one is such a unique piece! It’s a nice size for me to carry all my essentials, and I like that it comes with an adjustable crossbody strap. It’s really fantastic quality too!
