The main landmark of the complex is the Temple of Ramses II, whose main facade features 4 astonishing 20-meter-high statues and represents the majesty of Ancient Egypt. Delight in this image both day and night, when the lighting reflects directly off your stone. If you walk inside, you will find an extensive gallery and several rooms to honor the gods of Egyptian culture. In Abu Simbel you will also find the temple dedicated to Nefertari, the wife of this pharaoh. On the main façade there are 6 statues of the same size that represent Ramses II on 4 occasions and Nefertari herself on 2, but always with different attributes.

Later, you will enjoy some free time that you can spend resting or continuing to admire these monuments full of history. Afterward, you will attend a wonderful sound and light show that will tell you in detail the history of Ramses II, Nefertari and the great work that UNESCO carried out to move the two temples from their original location.
