Abu Simbel Sun Festival by Road

Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative to visit the awe-inspiring Great Temple of Abu Simbel, carved by King Ramesses II with colossal statues, near Egypt's southern border, and observe the fallen statue.

This incredible monument, carved by King Ramesses II around 1264 BC, featuring four colossal seated statues. One statue fell due to an ancient earthquake; its fragments still lie on the ground. Witness the magic of the Sun Festival, an extraordinary event that occurs twice a year, when the sun aligns perfectly to illuminate the temple's inner sanctum, lighting up the statues of the gods and Ramesses himself. This natural phenomenon showcases the architectural brilliance of the ancient Egyptians.

Your adventure concludes with a return to your hotel, leaving you with memories of Egypt's wonders.
