You will be picked up by our agent early in the morning and driven to Cairo International Airport. The US Air Force base at Paine Field, five kilometers from Almaza Airport, was established in the 1940s to support the Allied forces during World War II, marking the beginning of Cairo International Airport's history. You will start your trip to the Abu Simbel Temples in a private, air-conditioned car as soon as you arrive.
The Battle of Kadesh, which took place at the Abu Simbel Temple and hundreds of other temples including Luxor and the Ramesseum, was something that King Ramses II was always proud of. The king's horse is bigger than the opposing horses in the war scenes that are painted on the walls. There are several paintings and representations of Ramesses II around the temple.
Ramses II, a pharaoh of the Golden Age of Egypt, had more children and constructed more monuments than any previous Egyptian monarch. His 66-year reign is considered the height of Egypt's power and magnificence.
He constructed a temple for Nefertari, smaller than his own at Abu Simbel, since she had a unique personality despite his numerous marriages. Ramses II married Nefertari at the age of 19 before to ascending to the throne. Nefertari was a commoner rather than a member of the royal court. Queen Nefertari was the chief wife of Egypt's most famous pharaoh, King Ramses II (1290-1224 BC), and the mother of six of his most important children. The king, out of his great love for her, had a magnificent tomb dug for her in the Valley of the Kings, and he also built a temple for her in the natural rock at Abu Simbel, next to his great temple.
After enjoying the visit to the two temples, you will be transferred back to Cairo.
