PLAN YOUR ABU SIMBEL TRIP
DISCOVER ANCIENT NUBIA

The Magnificent Temples of Abu Simbel

The Abu Simbel Temples are among Egypt's most extraordinary ancient monuments. Carved into the rock during the reign of Ramesses II, the temples overlook Lake Nasser in southern Nubia.

The Great Temple of Ramesses II

The Great Temple is famous for its monumental façade featuring four colossal seated statues of Ramesses II.

Inside, impressive halls, reliefs and statues celebrate the king's power, religious devotion and royal achievements.

The Temple of Hathor & Nefertari

The smaller temple is dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Queen Nefertari, the Great Royal Wife of Ramesses II.

Its façade is particularly remarkable because the queen's statues appear on a comparable scale to those of the king.

The Rescue of Abu Simbel

During the construction of the Aswan High Dam, an international campaign helped save the temples from flooding. They were carefully relocated to higher ground in the 1960s.
