Upon arrival, your guide will take you through the incredible story behind these temples, which were built by Pharaoh Ramses II and later relocated by UNESCO in the 1960s to save them from rising waters. Visit the Great Temple of Ramses II, with its four massive statues and detailed inner chambers. Explore the Temple of Queen Nefertari, smaller but equally beautiful, dedicated to the goddess Hathor. Enjoy free time to explore, take photos, and soak in the beauty and atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
