OverView

Abu Simbel is an archaeological site located on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 290 km southwest of Aswan. It is one of the “Nubian Monuments” sites included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Which starts from the direction of the river's flow from Abu Simbel to Philae (near Aswan).

The double temples were originally carved out of the mountains during the reign of King Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, as a permanent monument to him and Queen Nefertari, to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. However, in 1960 the complex of facilities was moved entirely to another location, on an artificial hill made of a dome structure, above the reservoir of the Aswan High Dam.

Itinerary

our guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and drive to to towards Abu Simbel to visit the location of the most famous temples (The Great and Small temples) of King Ramses II and his wife Queen Nefertari. The most spectacular aspect of this temple is its setting in the solid rock above the banks of the Nile River.

The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Nubian Monuments," which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae near Aswan. It is believed that the axis of the temple was positioned by the ancient Egyptian architects in such a way that on October 22 and February 22, the rays of the sun would penetrate the sanctuary and illuminate the sculptures on the back wall, except for the statue of Ptah, the god connected with the Underworld, who always remained in the dark. These dates are allegedly the king's birthday and coronation day.

Then going back to Aswan around 4 pm, and proceeding to a restaurant  then to your hotel.
