- Abu Simbel Temples - The Great Temple of Abu Simbel, located in Nubia near Egypt’s southern border, stands as one of Egypt’s most breathtaking monuments. Carved into the living rock by King Ramesses II (the Great) of the Nineteenth Dynasty around 1264 BC, the temple is renowned for its four massive seated statues that dominate its façade. One of these statues collapsed due to an ancient earthquake, and its remnants are still visible on the ground.
Inside, colossal standing statues of the king line the main hall, leading to the sanctuary where four deities are seated: Amun Ra, Ra Horakhty, Ptah, and a deified version of Ramesses II. The temple’s construction is so precise that on two specific days each year, February 22nd and October 22nd, the sun’s rays penetrate the temple, traverse the main hall, and illuminate the innermost statues.
- Aswan Governorate - After exploring Abu Simbel, the journey continues back to Aswan, where guests will be returned to their hotel or Nile cruise.
