On the second day, we go back to history, more of the Abu Simbel. The hotel in Aswan will provide us with a breakfast box before we undertake one of the most fascinating Egypt day tours to Abu Simbel. Later an English-speaking driver and a guide will take us to visit the two Temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel, which have been one of the remarkable landmarks in the history of Egypt. The construction speaks of the magnificence of the temples found in the New Kingdom period, and they would have been underwater ages ago if not for an international rescue mission led by the government of Egypt and UNESCO.

Nubia was crucial for the Egyptians as a trade infrastructure looking south, where gold and other valued goods existed. Hence, the king raised many buildings depicting his authority over the land to the south and the civilization of Nubia. Like most temples in Egypt, the Temple of Ramses II contained an image of a king, for the temple was built as a tribute to the four collective gods; a figure which included Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and the King himself.

The magnificent temple of Abu Simbel also referred to as the Sun Temple of Ramses II, and also the Temple of Hathor, the beloved wife of King Ramses II, give iconographic representation to Ramses II, his wife, goddess Hathor, and the Sun God Amun.

The last destination is Aswan, and the Abu Simbel trip is done before we have another journey to Luxor to reach our final hotel. This is the conclusion of one of the amazing variants of the Luxor day tours and things to do in Egypt.
