Abu Simbel Temple

The ancient Abu Simbel Temple is an incredible site for travelers and photographers alike. The temple, located in Abu Simbel in Egypt, is a grandiose testament to the grandeur of ancient Egypt.

The two temples located here are adorned with stone carvings and large statues of Ramses II in the form of Ra-Harakhte, the sun god. In front of the temple is a courtyard that is often heralded as one of the most beautiful sights in the country. The sun sets here beautifully, highlighting the temples in a magnificent display of light and shadows. The grand drama of the temple makes it ideal for photography, creating spectacular opportunities for photos. A visit here is an experience you won't want to miss!
