Egypt - Aswan 🇪🇬 The three thousand year old temple with extraordinary craftsmanship

📍The Abu Simbel Temple, located in Aswan, the southernmost city of Egypt, was built around 1275 BC by the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II; it has a history of more than 3,000 years. 🔹Because of the construction of the Aswan Dam, in order to save the Abu Simbel Temple, UNESCO raised funds and experts and scholars from 51 countries went to Egypt to cut it into more than a thousand pieces of stone, which were finally successfully moved to the new site, on the back mountain more than 60 meters above the riverbed water level. 🔸You will feel very shocked in front of the temple. It is really breathtaking. The Egyptians are simply great artists and their works are so amazing. 🔸In addition, please do not miss the fact that not far from the temple there is another temple built by Ramses II for his beloved wife Nefertari. 🐴🌸 🦖: Although the journey is long, those who like ancient monuments should not miss it! How can you say you have been to Egypt without visiting the Temple of Abu Simbel? 🚗Transportation: I was traveling alone in Egypt, so I chartered a car. ⚠️The sun is very strong, remember to wear sunscreen and drink water! ⚠️Note: You can take photos with your mobile phone, but if you want to take photos with a camera, you need to buy a photo coupon! Because if you pick up a camera to take pictures, if a staff member finds out, they will ask to see your photo coupon. If you didn't purchase it, they will ask you to delete the photos. #Egypt #EgyptCheck-in #Aswan #Abu Simbel Temple #Temple
