The Temple of Abu Simble

This is one of the great sights of Egypt - a temple reconstructed when the Egyptians built the Aswan dam. UNESCO funded the removal of the temple - taken apart in a million pieces - to be moved above the man made Lake Nasser. The temple is a tribute to Ramses II. It is a breathtaking sight when first seen and should be on the bucket list for anyone travelling abroad!
