Abu Simbel Temples

Abu Simbel is the famous complex of two temples carved in the rock, one dedicated to Ramses II and the other to Nefertari, his first wife, and his favorite. The construction took about 20 years and was built during the reign of Ramses II. The temples are in an excellent state of preservation, as they were buried under the sand until the 19th century.

The most remarkable thing about this temple is its location on a solid rock on the banks of the Nile, between the first and second waterfalls. Impressive as Abu Simbel, perhaps he would not have been famous had it not been for his move to the Aswan Dam Building.
