Journey Through Ancient Egypt

The main points of interest on this tour are the Great Sun Temple of Ramses II and the beautiful Temple of Queen Nefertari.
The Great Sun Temple of Ramses II is famous for the grand statue of Ramses II, hewn directly out of the sandstone cliffs. Originally constructed as a war temple dedicated to Ramses II's victories and as a shrine to the gods Ra-Horakhty, Amun, and Ptah, it showcases the grandeur of Ramses II and his administration.
