About this experience
Aswan was known as “Suno” in the ages of the ancient Egyptians, meaning the market, as it was a commercial center for caravans coming to and from Nubia.Then, in the Ptolemaic period, it was called “Sin” and the Nubians called it “Yuba Swan”.It was also known as the Land of Gold because it was a great treasure or a cemetery for the Nubian kings who lived in it for thousands of years. The borders of Aswan extended before the migration from Asna to the east, to the borders of Sudan to the south, and its inhabitants were Nubians, but after the Islamic conquest of the Nuba countries, some Arab tribes inhabited them

The construction of the Abu Simbel temple complex began around 1244 BC, and it took about 21 years to build. Historians say that the Abu Simbel temple expresses something of Ramses II’s pride.
The Temple of Abu Simbel is characterized by being completely engraved in the rock, and its façade takes the shape of an oblique shape to resemble the edifice of temples.
The facade of the temple is decorated with four colossal statues of King Ramses II sitting while looking east and surrounding the king’s legs are a group of statues of queens, princesses and princes.
The front of the temple is topped with a row of monkeys greeting the sun above the entrance door to the temple carved by the god “Ra – Hor – my sister” with a falcon’s head .Then you will go back to the hotel.
