Abu Simbel is an archaeological site comprising two massive rock-cut
temples in southern Egypt on the western bank of Lake Nasser. The twin
temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign
of Pharaoh Ramesses The Great in the 13th century BC, as a lasting
monument to himself and his queen Nefertari. The complex was relocated
in its entirety in the 1960s, when the temples were threatened by
submersion in Lake Nasser, due to the construction of the Aswan High
Dam. Abu Simbel remains one of Egypt’s top tourist attractions.
