Seti Abu Simbel

  • Abu Simbel, one of the most spectacular sights in Egypt. An ancient pharaonic site, the two massive rock temples were carved into the mountainsides during the reign of King Ramses II in 13th century BC. One to honor the deities of the time, Ra-Harakhty, Ptah, Amun-Ra and King Ramses and the other for the Goddess of Beauty Hathor, and Queen Nefertari, King Ramses’s beloved wife.
