ANCIENT EGYPT: ABU SIMBEL, THE MOVED TEMPLES | Egypt tours, Egypt, Egypt travel

Abu Simbel is two massive rock-cut temples in the village of Abu Simbel, near the border with Sudan. The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968 on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan High Dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary or they would have been submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan High Dam on the River Nile.

Aswan Dam and the artificial lake that it generates: Lake Nasser. Although the dam has caused a not inconsiderable environmental impact, the view, especially from above, is breathtaking.

Soviet-Egyptian Friendship Monument at Aswan Dam
