Abu Simbel Nubian Monuments

The Abu Simbel Nubian Monuments, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Egypt, are colossal 13th-century BCE temples carved into a cliff by Ramses II. Featuring massive statues and intricate reliefs, they were relocated in the 1960s to save them from flooding. This site showcases ancient Egyptian engineering and royal legacy.
