Abu Simbel Temple

Abu Simbel Temple - the temple of Ramses II, which has a history of more than 3300 years, is next to the Hathor Temple, built for his beloved wife. Ramses II, as one of the greatest pharaohs in ancient Egypt, is also said to be the brother of Moses. The temple was flooded due to the construction of the Aswan Dam, and five countries helped to relocate it for four years, finally restoring its original appearance. There are many small caves in the temple, with many exquisite murals inside. February 22 and October 22 each year are the spectacle of the Sun Festival, illuminating the statue of Ramses II at the end of the temple, but it will never shine on the dark god, which science cannot explain to this day (Figure 4). You have to set off at four in the morning, a seven-hour round trip from Aswan, and you can watch the sunrise by the way. The group fee is 70 US dollars per person for carpooling, and the free travel carpooling is 25 US dollars per person. The ticket price of 615 Egyptian pounds is calculated separately. The price during the Sun Festival is 915 Egyptian pounds. Distance is the biggest problem, but it's worth seeing once in a lifetime.
