A Must-See Event: The Abu Simbel Sun Festival

The Fixed Dates for the Sun Festival Tours

One of the most magnificent events in February is the Abu Simbel Sun Festival on February 22nd. This is a rare spectacle that only happens twice a year. The temple was precisely built so that on this day, the rising sun’s rays penetrate the inner sanctuary, illuminating the statues of Ramses II and the gods. Witnessing this ancient architectural and astronomical marvel is a truly unforgettable experience.
