The interiors of the Temple of Ramses II and Nefertari's Temple of Hathor offer amazing opportunities to see intricate carvings and details. Both temples were saved from the rising waters of Lake Nasser by UNESCO efforts. Stunning views from the temples look out over Lake Nasser, formed by the damming of the Nile, and over the desert. The compact town of Abu Simbel is easy to get around on foot. « less
