A private guided day tour to Abu Simbel temples from Aswan
280 Kilometers (3-hour drive) south of Aswan are the largest and most beautiful rock-cut temples. The Site is so charming between Lake Nasser (Formed thanks to the new Dam) and the huge Egyptian desert. Considered Pharounical works of our era, the temples were saved by UNESCO between 1964 and 1968 from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. The road is also very well made, well paved and in the middle of the road, we will see Le Mirage on each side. The temples of Abu Simbel date back to 1200 BC, dug at the time of Ramses 2. He dedicated the large temple to him, on the other hand, the other small temple is dedicated to his beautiful wife (the favorite among his wives) Nefertari
