Overview
Journey to Ramses II’s greatest monument—the spectacular Abu Simbel temples carved into a mountainside 3,200 years ago.
Four colossal statues of Ramses II guard the Great Temple’s entrance, each standing 20 meters tall. Inside, painted reliefs depict the pharaoh’s military victories. The smaller Temple of Nefertari honors Ramses’ beloved queen.
UNESCO’s remarkable engineering raised both temples 60 meters to save them from Lake Nasser’s rising waters—a modern marvel complementing the ancient one.
