Exclusive and (Inclusive)MIsr travel advantages that you will treasure for the rest of your life:
You will be met by a Misr travel tour manager and expert Egyptologist guide then transferred to the temples of Abu simbel .Abu simbel temples are arguably considered the most impressive ancient sites in Egypt, the two rock temples of Abu Simbel were constructed and dedicated to King Ramses II and are an incredible sight to behold. The other rock cut temple at Abu Simbel is the Temple of Hathor, which is fronted by six massive standing statues. Four of them represent King Ramses II, the other two are of his beloved wife – Queen Nefertari.
your guide will explain the history of the site, including details of the UNESCO-led relocation of the entire cliff face to higher ground, and how the temples were discovered by accident in 1813 .
As one of the few ancient Egyptian sites which largely escaped damage by past invaders, the interiors of Abu Simbel’s temples are astounding. The scale of the buildings and their detailed decoration leaves most visitors in awe. The temples’ attraction is further enhanced by their scenic location on the edge of Lake Nasser in the orange sands of the desert.
In a fit of architectural wisdom, Ramses II had the entire temple carefully angled and oriented in order that the sun’s rays would allign twice a year on his date of ascension to the throne (on 22 ,February) and on his birthday (on 22,October) and illuminate the inner sanctum of the temple.
In 1972 the temple was re-located further up from the shoreline of Lake Nasser. For this reason, the sun now strikes a day later than Ramses had originally planned. After visiting the temples there may be time for a short visit to the small visitor’s center which documents the UNESCO relocation project, before returning to the minibus for the drive back to Aswan. The drive is approximately three hours each way.
Lunch will be included.
