• Abu Simbel Temples

Abu Simbel is located 280 kilometers south of Aswan, very close to the border with Sudan (about 70 kilometers). Undoubtedly, Abu Simbel is one of the most important and interesting archaeological sites in Egypt. And surprising as it may sound, Abu Simbel is not located on its original site. These marvelous temples were moved, stone by stone from their original location (caused by the construction of the Nasser Dam), without any noticeable change. It seems as if they have always been there. The complex, weighing more than three hundred thousand tons, was elevated more than 64 meters from its original location to prevent it from being covered by the waters.
