Асуан и Абу-Симбел из Марса-Алама: Колоссальные храмы Рамсеса II

A journey south from Marsa Alam across the Eastern Desert brings you to Aswan and the Nubian Nile, gateway to the colossal rock-cut temples of Abu Simbel built by Pharaoh Ramses II over 3,200 years ago.

The Colossi of Abu Simbel

Carved directly into a sandstone mountain overlooking Lake Nasser, the four 20-meter seated statues of Ramses II stand as an enduring testament to imperial Pharaonic power. Inside, the grand hypostyle hall leads to the sanctuary where, twice a year, the rising sun illuminates the divine statues.

Philae Temple & Aswan High Dam

En route through Aswan, board a motorboat to Philae Island to explore the enchanting Greco-Roman temple of Isis, painstakingly relocated stone by stone during the historic UNESCO Nubia salvage campaign.
