>> Tour Description
Early morning transfer to visit Abu Simbel. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to cooperate in order to save these temples from the flood. The temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Ra-Her –Akhtey, Amun Ra, and Ramses II himself. The great Abu Simbel is also called The Sun Temple of Ramses II. The temple of queen Nefertari is also called the Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramses II, Nefertiti, Hathor, and the Sun God together as one.
Abu Simbel is an ancient temple complex located in Nubia, about 280 km south of Aswan, Egypt. It is famous for its impressive rock-cut temples, built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC.
