When you get to Aswan, you'll see the High Dam, built in 1960 to protect Egypt from the floods that happen every year. Next, let your spirit soar at the unfinished obelisk, where you can see the glory of the Pharaohs and how they cut obelisks. There are two stories about how this obelisk was built. Last, have a tasty lunch in Aswan before returning to Marsa Alam.
We will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan at 4:00 AM and drive you to Abu Simbel, where you'll see two temples: the Temple of Queen Nefertari and the Temple of Ramses II. Both were built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II. The two impressive temples were first carved out of living rock during Ramses II's rule. The Great Temple at Abu Simbel was built over about twenty years and was a place of worship for Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah. The Small Temple, also called the Temple of Hathor and Nefertari, was a place of worship for the goddess Hathor and Rameses II's wife, Nefertari. It is thought this was the only other temple in Egypt built for a queen. After lunch, a restaurant in Aswan will be served, and our guide will take you back to Marsa Alam.
