The temples, built by Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BC, are renowned for their colossal statues carved into the mountainside, depicting Ramses himself and his queen, Nefertari. These magnificent structures were relocated in the 1960s to prevent them from being submerged by Lake Nasser, showcasing an extraordinary feat of engineering and dedication to preserving history.
Upon arrival, take time to explore the Great Temple of Ramses II and the smaller Temple of Hathor, dedicated to Nefertari.

As you walk through the temple, you'll discover fascinating reliefs and carvings depicting Sobek, who was believed to protect the Nile and ensure fertility. The temple also features a well-preserved Nilometer, an ancient device used to measure the Nile's water levels, crucial for agriculture in ancient Egypt.
