The Great Temple at Abu Simbel took around twenty years to build. Also known as Temple of Ramses II, it was dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, as well as to the Great King Ramesses himself. It is considered the grandest and most beautiful of the temples commissioned during Ramesses II’s reign, and one of the most beautiful in Egypt. The entrance to the Great Temple is flanked by four colossal statues on its facade, 20 m statues, each one representing Ramesses II seated on a throne. The façade of the main temple is decorated with hieroglyphs that commemorate the great victory of Ramses II at the Battle of Kades. Upon entering the great temple, there are a series of rooms, dedicated to Ramses himself and important members of his family. The final room, the sanctum sanctorum, remains in darkness every day except two days a year. This was not done by chance, it was necessary a broad knowledge of science, mathematics, architecture, and astronomy to achieve this result.

About Abu Simbel
Abu Simbel is a remarkable archaeological site in southern Egypt, renowned for its two massive rock-cut temples originally carved out of a mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BCE. These temples are a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian engineering and artistry, dedicated to Ramses II and the goddess Hathor. What makes Abu Simbel unique is not only its monumental scale and detailed reliefs but also its incredible modern history: the entire complex was relocated in the 1960s to higher ground to avoid submersion by Lake Nasser following the construction of the Aswan High Dam. This feat of preservation has made Abu Simbel a symbol of international cooperation and cultural heritage protection. Visitors are drawn to the awe-inspiring statues that guard the temple entrance and the twice-yearly solar alignment event when sunlight illuminates the inner sanctum. Abu Simbel offers a profound glimpse into ancient Egyptian civilization, combining history, art, and breathtaking desert landscapes, making it a must-see destination for travelers interested in archaeology and history.
