Abu Simble
Abu Simble to see the two temples of Abu Simble which consider among the most magnificent monuments in the world also their removal and reconstruction was an historic event. When the temples (280 km from Aswan) were threatened by submersion in Lake Nasser, due to the construction of the High Dam, Visitors to the temples today are easily able to forget that they are not in their original position. Such great care was taken in the landscaping and orientation of the monuments and it is only the fact that one may enter the artificial dome to view its construction which reminds us that the site of Rameses’ temple has now vanished below the waters of the lake. Each evening there are three performances of a Sound and Light Show in seven different languages as one of the best sound & light shows in Egypt.
