16.04.2010 Abu Simbel, Egypt



This is the main reason of me coming to Egypt. Can't believe that I actually made it here. I finally fulfilled my 10 year-old dream to visit this place. Well, not all gain with no pain. We parted with USD$80 per person, got up at 2 a.m, joined the convoy at 3.30a.m. and 3.5 hours ride to the temple one way.

Old Location of Abu Simbel - Now Lake Nasseer

The Magnificent Temple

4 Big Ramses II

Little Guardians

Nefertari Temple

The 2 Temples

It costed UNESCO 4 years and USD$40mil to move these 2 temples to where they are now. Worth every penny.
