Abu Simbel

The small town of Abu Simbel is located 280 km from Aswan, near the border with Sudan, on the left bank of the Nile. The main attraction is the temples carved into the rock of Pharaoh Ramses II and his wife Nefertari. Visitors are speechless when they see 20 meter colossi in front of the temple in front of them. It is impossible to imagine that in the sixties, saving him from flooding, they were able to saw into 1041 blocks and transfer it a little further to an artificially erected mountain.
