Abu Simbel Temples are located in southern Egypt about 230 km southwest of Aswan near the borders of Sudan and they are originally carved into the cliffs on the west bank of the Nile. These amazing temples are the lasting historical monument for the king Ramses II and his queen Nefertari.
The temples were built more than 3000 years ago by king Ramses II and they are famous for their huge size as well as the way they were moved piece by piece to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.
