The two temples of Abu Simbel for King Ramses II and his wife Queen Nefertari are considered to be the most immeasurable monuments in Egypt after the Giza Pyramids, it`s located 290 km south of Aswan, Ramses II built the Great Temple for himself, to commemorate his victory in the famous Battle of Kadesh, and then built the smaller temple for his favorite wife, Queen Nefertari.
After the Egyptian government established the High Dam, the Nile waters began to flood and cover the temple, and Egypt, with the help of UNESCO, decided to move the temple from its original location by cutting it into 4000 pieces and moving it to another place higher, and 34 countries participated in this great event.
Enjoy your lunch meal at a calm good quality restaurant and you will then be transferred to Aswan Airport for your flight back to Cairo.
