This is the most impressive temple of them all—what some Egyptologists consider the eighth wonder of the Ancient World. The temples of Ramses II and Nefertari stand on the shores of Lake Nasser, south of Aswan. Venture inside and marvel at the four colossal statues towering above the entrance. If you prefer to travel by road, early morning departures are available. You can choose between a private car or a shared bus. As seating is limited, we recommend booking early to secure your spot and avoid missing out on this truly magnificent experience.
