The two temples at Abu Simbel, dedicated to King Ramses II and his beloved wife Queen Nefertari, are regarded as among the most impressive monuments in Egypt, second only to the Giza Pyramids.
Located approximately 290 kilometers south of Aswan, the Great Temple was built by Ramses II to commemorate his victory in the significant Battle of Kadesh, while the smaller temple was constructed in honor of his favorite wife, Queen Nefertari.
Following the construction of the High Dam by the Egyptian government, rising Nile waters threatened to flood and eventually cover the temples.
In response, Egypt, with the support of UNESCO, launched an extensive project to relocate the temples. The temples were carefully cut into 4,000 pieces and moved to a higher ground. This remarkable effort involved the participation of 34 countries and is considered one of the most significant archaeological achievements in history.
You will enjoy your lunch at a peaceful and quality restaurant before being transferred to Aswan Airport for your flight back to Cairo.
