The ancient Abu Simbel Temples are huge rock-cut temples that were constructed during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II. In addition to them serving as temples, they were also intended to serve as lasting monuments to the pharaoh and his wife, Queen Nefertari. No amount of words can describe this truly magnificent site.

After your tour of the temples, you will be driven back to the cruise ship, and then it will depart for Kom Ombo. On arrival, you will enjoy another excursion, this time to see Kom Ombo Temple. This ancient temple essentially consists of two identical halves because it was dedicated to two different gods. One half was dedicated to Sobek, while the other half was dedicated to Horus.
