Temple of Abu Simbel

Temple of Abu Simbel

In the southernmost region of Egypt, on the western shore of Lake Nasser, are the temples of Abu Simbel.

These two temples were carved out of stone in the 1260s BC and are dedicated to Pharaoh Ramses II and Queen Nefertari. The view of the temples is a real work of art. The temple of Pharaoh Ramses II is larger than the other and is guarded by four colossal statues.

And on the facade of the temple of Queen Nefertari there are 6 huge statues. When you step inside, you will feel like you are in another world filled with stone carvings, legendary statues, colors, pillars.

p.s. this temple was relocated to protect it from floods. They took the temple bricks one by one and moved them to another place.
