More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive at the Giza Plateau just after sunrise, the cool air driven off the Nile replaced by a dry, warm wind that pushes sand across ancient stone. The Great Pyramid looms like a deliberate act, and for four days you move between monuments and modern life: the crowded alleys of Cairo, the slow current of the Nile in Aswan, and the monumental façade of Abu Simbel carved by Ramses II.

History
Abu Simbel was carved under Ramses II in the 13th century BCE and was relocated in the 1960s to avoid submersion from the Aswan High Dam.
Conservation
The Abu Simbel relocation is a landmark in heritage conservation; visitors should minimize impact by following established paths and avoiding flash photography where restricted.
