Abu Simbel Temple – A Miracle of Egypt

Abu Simbel Temple is one of the most magnificent sites of ancient Egypt! 🏛️✨ Located on the banks of the Nile River in Aswan, it was built by Pharaoh Ramses II to honor the gods and himself.

The highlight of the temple is the colossal statues of Pharaoh Ramses II, standing majestically at the entrance. Additionally, the temple's incredible design allows sunlight to illuminate the statues of the gods inside the temple on February 22 and October 22 each year! 🌞

🚗 Getting there: You can reach Abu Simbel by car or through a tour from Aswan (approximately a 3-hour journey). Plan your trip carefully; we left the city at 4 AM, and it was absolutely worth it.

Don't miss Abu Simbel Temple if you visit Egypt. It is truly one of the most impressive wonders! 🌍🔱
