Tour the Abu Simbel Temple Complex
In the morning, leave your accommodation in Aswan along with your tour guide towards the Abu Simbel Temple Complex.
On reaching your destination, learn about each of the two rock-cut temples on the complex:
First, visit the Temple of Ramses II built to symbolise power and pride in honour of the King Pharaoh's victories. The temple has been designed in such a way that the statues inside are lit up by sunlight twice every year: on Ramses' birth and coronation days.
Then, head to the Queen Nefertari Temple. Smaller of the two, this temple is believed to have been built to honour Queen Nefertari and Ramses' children.
After the sightseeing, you will be dropped back at your accommodation in Aswan.
