History
Upper Egypt holds pharaonic capitals and monumental projects—Abu Simbel was carved by Ramses II and later relocated during the Aswan High Dam project to save it from the rising reservoir.
Conservation
The 1960s relocation at Abu Simbel is a landmark of heritage conservation; visitors should stick to paths, avoid touching reliefs and use local guides to minimize impact.
