Places You'll Visit
The Abu Simbel temples are two rock-cut monuments carved into a mountainside on Lake Nasser's west bank, built under Pharaoh Ramesses II around 1264 BC. Threatened by the Aswan High Dam's rising waters, they were cut into over 1,000 blocks and relocated in a UNESCO-led campaign between 1964 and 1968, later inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1979.
