The two temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and greatness of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to cooperate to save these temples from the flood. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re and Ramses II himself. The great temple of Abu Simbel is also called Temple of the Sun of Ramssess II. The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also called Temple of Hathor, who was the wife of the Sun God, in a symbolic way, the two Temples, the one of Ramses II and the one of Nefertari, bring Ramses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one.

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.
