The temples contain treasures from Egyptian art alongside architecture structures that show the prosperity of Egyptian empires together with New Kingdom Pharaoh divinity. A worldwide salvage operation performed under the direction of UNESCO and Egypt's government relocated the temples before Lake Nasser threatened their destruction.
Ramses II used his temple to honor four sacred deities namely Ptah alongside Re-Her-Akhtey and Amun-Re and himself. The Sun Temple of Ramses II is just as small and houses four worship areas dedicated to Queen Nefertari the Nubian and the Hathor deity Hathor and her role in music and love.
The Temple of Nefertari serves Nefertari with love because Ramses entrusted this monument to his wife. This. slice-of-the-Temples hold images of six rock-carved gods on its front facade and hall spaces which match the grandeur of the bigger temple architecture. We finish site exploration at Deir el-Medina after taking memorable photographs before returning to Aswan at the tour's end.
