Abu Simbel has been lucky enough to be given a second life. For centurys it was buried by the drifting sands & then nearly drowned under the waters of Lake Nasser.
First built in 1290 BC and then rebuilt in 1964 AD.
Try to get there early before the tour buses do |

Wow a bus!!! You are a very patient person. I broke the bank and flew myself. Abu Simbel is worth the effort. |
