Abu Simbel Lesser Temple

106 48
Ramses II built two temples at Abu Simbel, one for himself and one to honor his Great Royal Wife Nefertari.

Abu Simbel is a major Egyptian tourist attraction near Aswan, the site of the famous Egyptian dam. In 1813, Swiss explorer J. L. Burckhardt first brought the sand-covered temples at Abu Simbel to the attention of the West. There two rock-carved sandstone temples were salvaged and rebuilt in the 1960s when the Aswan dam was constructed.
