Highlights

The Mountain That Moved for a King Ramses II's monumental masterpiece, carved into a cliff face, stands as an eternal testament to pharaonic power—with four 65-foot-tall colossi of the king guarding its entrance for 3,200 years. Witness the precision of ancient astronomers: twice yearly, the rising sun pierces the inner sanctum to illuminate statues of Ramses and the gods—a phenomenon that still occurs today. This engineering marvel was saved from Nile waters in the 1960s, when the entire temple was cut into blocks and relocated 200 feet higher—one of history's greatest rescue missions. Inside, vibrant battle scenes show Ramses' victory at Kadesh, while hidden chambers whisper of royal rituals performed for the sun god Amun. Arrive at dawn when the first light sets the colossi ablaze in gold, just as intended by its builders in 1264 BC—and you'll understand why this isn't just a temple, but a statement in stone.

About Aswan

Assuan ist Ägyptens ruhige Stadt im Süden am Nil, wo Feluken zwischen Granitinseln, nubischen Dörfern und palmengesäumten Ufern gleiten.

Der Nil ist hier am schönsten, durchbrochen von Granitblöcken und grünen Inseln. Auf der Insel Elephantine liegen Ruinen antiker Tempel und bunte nubische Dörfer, die Kitchener-Insel ist von einem botanischen Garten bedeckt, und am Westufer sind die Gräber der Adligen in die Klippen von Qubbet el-Hawa gehauen, während das kuppelgekrönte Mausoleum des Aga Khan weiter südlich auf einem Wüstenhügel steht.

Top-ranked sights in Aswan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple (Temple of Isis), Aswan High Dam.
