The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. The Temples are rock-cut structures, and both built during the reign of King Ramses II 1200 B.C. One temple are dedicated to King Ramses II, and the second temple is dedicated to his beloved wife Queen Nefartarie. The carvings and artwork that decorate both temples are incredible. Hand carved pillars, wall paintings, carvings, statues, and much more, this is a must visit the temple. Return back to your cruise and sailing after lunch.
