Optional visit to Abu Simbel
Fly from Aswan to Abu Simbel (almost 40 minutes) to visit its relocated temples built by Ramses II, 1200 B.C., then fly back to Aswan. The two temples face east to receive the rays of the rising sun. It is said that twice a year, the sun shines on the face of the King: once on his birthday and once on his coronation day. It is still a mystery to archaeologists how the ancient Egyptians could have designed and built such miraculous structures. Duration: around five hours OR stay one night in Abu Simbel and experience the fabulous Sound and Light Show. Visit the temple again in the morning before flying back to Cairo or Aswan. | |||||
