Why was the Abu Simbel Temple relocated?
In the 1960s, due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam, the entire temple was moved to a new location at a higher elevation to protect it from being submerged by the waters of Lake Nasser. The facade of the Great Temple features four huge statues of Ramses II, each about 20 meters high.
The temple contains internal halls carved into the rock, and its walls are decorated with engravings depicting the victories of Ramses II. Winter is a great opportunity to visit Abu Simbel Temple, as temperatures are moderate.
