Itinerary
At Abu Simbel, travelers will see one of Egypt’s most breathtaking archaeological sites —the magnificent Great Temple of Ramses II and the Temple of Queen Nefertiti, both carved directly into the sandstone cliffs over 3,000 years ago. The Great Temple is famous for its four colossal statues of Pharaoh Ramses II, each standing over 20 meters high, guarding the entrance. Inside, visitors can explore halls decorated with vivid wall carvings and hieroglyphs that tell stories of Rameses's victories and devotion to the gods. Just a short walk away stands the smaller but equally beautiful Temple of Queen Nefertiti, dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Rameses's beloved wife. The façade features six statues — four of the king and two of the queen — showing the rare honor given to a royal woman in ancient Egypt. Travelers can also enjoy stunning views of Lake Nasser, where the temples were carefully relocated in the 1960s to protect them from flooding after the construction of the Aswan High Dam

About Aswan
Aswan is Egypt's serene southern city on the Nile, where feluccas glide between granite islands, Nubian villages and palm-fringed riverbanks.
The Nile is at its most beautiful here, broken by granite boulders and green islands. Elephantine Island holds ruins of ancient temples and colourful Nubian villages, Kitchener's Island is covered by a botanical garden, and on the west bank the Tombs of the Nobles are cut into the cliffs of Qubbet el-Hawa, while the domed Mausoleum of the Aga Khan stands on a desert hill further south.
Top-ranked sights in Aswan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple (Temple of Isis), Aswan High Dam.
