Take a flight from Aswan to discover one of the most fascinating temples of Egypt at Abu Simbel. It was built by King Ramses II In Nubia. The temple is situated 280 km southwest of Aswan 40 km north of Sudan. the temple is unique because of the special facade of three huge statues of the king, each 25 meters high. The facade itself is 35 meters in height and 35 meters wide.

Temple of Queen Nefertari by flight from Aswan.

King Ramses built seven temples in Nubia, each dedicated to Egypt’s main gods, with himself as the central figure. This theme is particularly evident at the Abu Simbel temple, where the four colossal statues of Ramses on the facade symbolize the gods Ra-Hor-Akhti, Ptah of Memphis, Amun-Ra of Luxor, and Ramses II himself. While the exterior presents all four gods in the likeness of Ramses, the interior sanctuary features their distinct forms, illustrating Ramses’s message that he embodies the essence of these four primary deities.
