Abu Simbel Temple丨Towards the Light

📍Attraction Address: Abu Simbel Temple 🏝️Reservation Guide: On-site ticket purchase, 415 EGP 🚗Transportation Guide: Book a car in advance 💗Other Tips: The temple is located four hours away from Aswan, Aswan Governorate. If you want fewer people for better photos, you can choose to depart around 10 am. In the afternoon, the temple is almost empty, so you don't have to squeeze with others, and it’s great for photos. However, it is very sunny, so make sure to take protective measures. A spectacle visible twice a year: On February 22 and October 22, the morning sunlight will pass through the long temple and shine directly on the three statues. The proud Ramses II gazes at the vast land of Nubia from the cliff by the river in Abu Simbel, sitting alongside the sun god and the god of the underworld, with the purpose of demonstrating national power to Nubia in the south of Egypt.🇪🇬
