The great Sun Temple of Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel lies 280 km south of Aswan and 40 km north of the Sudanese border, on the west bank of Lake Nasser.
You can get here in a convoy, by public buses (we heard that only 4 tourists could be in one public buss, but i'm not really sure about this information), by air and on the luxury cruises. We used convoy to get to Abu Simbel.
