The first discovery of these temples was in 1813 A.D by Switzerland Burchard while the whole appearance was 1917 A.D by Italian traveler Belzoni. Ramses II’s temple: A rock cut temple with four gigantic statues of the king Ramses who is represented seated on the throne of Egypt with his big family.

About Aswan

Aswan er Egypts rolige sørlige by ved Nilen, der feluccaer glir mellom granittøyer, nubiske landsbyer og palmekantede elvebredder.

Nilen er vakrest her, brutt av granittblokker og grønne øyer. Elefantøya rommer ruiner av gamle templer og fargerike nubiske landsbyer, Kitcheners Øy er dekket av en botanisk hage, og på vestbredden er adelsmenns graver hogd inn i klippene ved Qubbet el-Hawa, mens Aga Khans kuppelformede mausoleum står på en ørkenhøyde lenger sør.
