Temples of Abu Simbel

There are many things to do in Egypt. However, the Temples of Abu Simbel are near the top of any list. The Great Temple of Ramses II and the Temple of Hathor, together form the Temples of Abu Simbel. They are some of the most iconic monuments in Egypt due to their rock reliefs of sitting and standing pharaohs. The temples are located in modern day southern Egypt near the border with Sudan. The builders originally cut them out of the rocks in the mountainside.
