The temple complex Abu Simbel is famous for having been moved when the Aswan Dam reservoir drowned the original location (there’s an interesting video about it); we had a three hour drive from Aswan, starting about 5am!
We arrived at Abu Simbel with many other people but the space is large enough that it didn’t feel too crowded (other than the lines to enter the interior); what amazed me was that there are TWO temples there, for Ramesses II and for his wife Nefertari! It’s incredible to first catch a view of the huge carvings:
I also took some photos of inside:
