- Day 2: Abu Simbel Temple ComplexDepart from your hotel in Aswan and embark on a journey to the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel Temple Complex, one of Egypt’s most remarkable archaeological treasures. As you approach, be captivated by the sheer scale of the massive rock-cut temples, built by Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BCE to demonstrate his power and devotion to the gods. Admire the four colossal statues of Ramses II guarding the entrance to the Great Temple, each standing at an impressive 20 meters tall. Step inside to explore the intricately decorated halls, where detailed carvings and hieroglyphics depict the pharaoh’s military victories, including the famous Battle of Kadesh. Next, visit the smaller yet equally fascinating Temple of Hathor, dedicated to Queen Nefertari, Ramses II’s beloved wife. Notice how Nefertari is uniquely portrayed at the same scale as the pharaoh—a rare tribute in ancient Egyptian art. As you wander through these UNESCO-listed temples, learn about their incredible relocation in the 1960s, a monumental feat of engineering that saved them from being submerged by the rising waters of Lake Nasser.9 hours
