Ancient treasures of Abu Simbel

One of the few sites that largely escaped damage from past invaders, the temples of Abu Simbel are a sight to behold. The sheer scale of the buildings, their intricate interiors, and their location on the edge of Lake Nasser leave most visitors in awe. Expected to be submerged by the rising waters of the Nile, after the construction of the Aswan Dam, the temple complex was relocated to the west bank of Lake Nasser. The two temples built by Ramses II, discovered in 1813, are one of the finest examples of Egyptian art.

At Abu Simbel's Visitor's Centre, learn more about the remarkable UNESCO-led relocation of these ancient temples.
