 History & Significance

 This full-day tour offers a unique chance to delve into the rich history and architectural brilliance of Abu Simbel. The temples, originally constructed over 3,000 years ago, were relocated in a   remarkable feat of engineering to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.
