Abu Simbel Temple - the temple of Ramses II, which has a history of more than 3300 years, is next to the Hathor Temple, built for his beloved wife. Ramses II, as one of the greatest pharaohs in ancient Egypt, is also said to be the brother of Moses. The temple was flooded due to the construction of the Aswan Dam, and five countries helped to relocate it for four years, finally restoring its original appearance. There are many small caves in the temple, with many exquisite murals inside. February 22 and October 22 each year are the spectacle of the Sun Festival, illuminating the statue of Ramses II at the end of the temple, but it will never shine on the dark god, which science cannot explain to this day (Figure 4). You have to set off at four in the morning, a seven-hour round trip from Aswan, and you can watch the sunrise by the way. The group fee is 70 US dollars per person for carpooling, and the free travel carpooling is 25 US dollars per person. The ticket price of 615 Egyptian pounds is calculated separately. The price during the Sun Festival is 915 Egyptian pounds. Distance is the biggest problem, but it's worth seeing once in a lifetime.

Never thought that one day I could touch the pyramids of five thousand years, the golden mask Pharaoh Tutankhamun, Cleopatra of Egypt, these people and things that only appear in movies and history textbooks. Until standing in the products of thousands of years of civilization, it still feels unreal. The civilization and people of a thousand years ago leap on paper and in carvings. Even though humans have entered the web 3.0 era, the architectural and artistic achievements of that time are still incredible feats today. I can't believe that thousands of years ago, without iron tools, relying only on stone tools, people were able to complete the construction of giant pyramids and obelisks hundreds of meters high by chiseling and hammering stones. The main tourist spots in Egypt are centered around Cairo and are divided into three lines: 1.

East line: along the Red Sea Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, Mount Sinai, a paradise for diving enthusiasts, the cheapest place in the world for diving certification, OW+AOW around 35💲 3. North line: Mediterranean, Siwa Oasis - Far away from the scamming south line, the north line is the pure land of Egypt - The homeland of Cleopatra, where ancient Egyptian civilization was gradually eroded by ancient Rome, Alexandria - The Tiffany blue glass sea Matruh, which is more beautiful than the Red Sea - Far away from mainland Egypt, the lost desert oasis Siwa in Assassin's Creed Origins (palm groves, Sahara desert, salt lakes, hot springs, Berber mud houses Shali, flamingos) Yearning for the world Ancient Egypt Ancient Egyptian civilization Travel to Egypt Egypt

🌅Due to changes in the itinerary, we had to depart in the early morning and unexpectedly witnessed the sunrise, which was still very satisfying. The dim morning light shone on the towering statue, adding a touch of mystery. 🏯The Abu Simbel Temple is said to be named after the guide who first took Westerners to the site. It consists of a gate built into the cliff, a giant statue of Ramses II, rock carvings, front and rear halls, and a shrine. 🗿The Abu Simbel Temple was built in the 13th century BC by Ramses II, the 19th dynasty of the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt, and has a history of 3300 years. The temple consists of two giant temples carved from rock, dedicated to the gods Ptah, Amun-Ra, Harahty, and the deified Ramses II, and the nearby small temple dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Ramses II's favorite wife, Queen Nefertari.
