Highlights from Abu Simbel to Aswan
Abu Simbel Temples: It's one of the best temples that you can visit during your Aswan day tour. This is located on the western bank of Lake Nasser & it’s about 230 km southwest of Aswan near the border with Sudan.
It’s a set of two temples, it was constructed for the pharaoh “Ramses II” and the other for his own beautiful wife “Nefertari”. It was built in 1255 BC & it was rediscovered two hundred years ago.
The larger temple is dedicated to three major Egyptian goddesses & features four large statues of Ramses II on its facade, while the smaller temple is dedicated to the love goddess Hathor, with statues designed for his beloved wife Nefertari. Most tourists add Abu Simbel to their Egypt tours list in February and November because the sun is perpendicular to the face of Ramses II to celebrate his birthday and the anniversary of his accession to the throne.
Kasr Ibrim: This is like a museum because it contains the largest collection of old Nubian documents ever found which was occupied until 1813 & today the island is closed because the site has been shot by artillery fire.
The Temple of Amada: it’s the oldest Egyptian temple in Nubia that you will stop by Lake Nasser cruises to visit and take different images. It was first constructed by Pharaoh Thutmose III of the 18th dynasty and is dedicated to Amun and Re-Horakhty. His son and successor, Amenhotep II continued the decoration program for this structure.
Wadi El Seboua temple.
The Temple of Kalabsha: is located on the Western Bank of the River Nile, reached by Egypt Nile cruises around 40 miles south of Aswan on a hill near the High Dam site. This temple was originally built by Toutmosis II and Amenophis II and was restored during the Roman era.
If you have more time in your vacation you can take a cruise between Aswan and Luxor to explore the temples and antiques of Luxor day tours that will amuse you.
