Your tour will begin with a 3-hour drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel. Your Emeco guide will be for Goway clients only. Proceed with the guide for an easy walking tour of the great temple of Abu Simbel, dedicated to the glory of Pharaoh Ramses II. Four gigantic statues of the great Pharaoh himself dominate its front. He had this temple built in this otherwise desolate place on the site of a much older shrine of a local personification of the god Horus. The great temple is dedicated to the Sun God (Ra) while the second smaller temple is dedicated to the goddess Hathor, this second temple was built for Nefertari, the pharaoh's wife. The towering statues are 60 feet in height and the most photographed phenomenon in Egypt.
