Have a great time flying to Abu Simbel! Our "Egypt Accessible Travel" will send a representative to your hotel in Aswan to pick you up and take you to Abu Simbel. There, you can see Ramses II's beautiful temple to the sun and Queen Nefertari's equally beautiful temple.
A thick layer of sand covered both temples until 1813 when they were finally found.
At the time, there was no way to get there. With help from the Egyptian government and UNESCO in 1960, the temples were moved so the rising Nile wouldn't flood them. This was done to stop the Nile from making the area attack.
A picture in the temple shows Ramses II's fantastic victory at the Battle of Kadesh. The painting shows how his troops won against their enemies, which may be in the temple.
Ramses II built the temple to show how great he was. The Nefertari Temple is north of the Ramses Temple.
It was made to honor Nefertari, Ramses II's favorite wife and the Pharaoh's daughter-in-law.
Ramses II built the Nefertari Temple as a way to keep his wife. Ramses II had more than 200 wives and concubines, so he had a big family. When your tour is over, you will fly to Aswan,
where the "Egypt Accessible Travel" driver will meet you and take you to your hotel.
