Pass By: Abu Simbel Temple Complex, Abu Simbel, Abu Simbel Egypt
We will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan and then you will fly to Abu Simbel. Its main attraction is the great sun temple of Ramses II and the temple of queen Nefertari. The two Temples of Abu Simbel with their unique style are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. The Temple of Ramsses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re and to Ramsses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called the Sun Temple of Ramssess II. The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also called Temple of Hathor, who was the wife of the Sun God. So in a symbolic way the two temples, the one of Ramsses II and the one of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one. After finishing the visit you will fly back to Aswan and then you will be driven back to your hotel.
