Miscellaneous: Most people usually visit Abu Simbel as a day trip from Aswan. Both flights & buses leave early in the morning, when it can be cold. However, on arrival in Abu Simbel it can warm up pretty quickly. I would recommend that you wear some head gear, comfortable clothes / shoes, take sun block if you're prone to burning & a bottle of water and a snack or two wouldn't go amiss either. Liquid & food are even more essential if you're going by bus.
