Abu Simbel

The sun is perpendicular to the face of the statue of Ramses II twice a year, on October 22 and February 22, respectively. This phenomenon has been occurring for tens of millennia, and it illustrates how knowledgeable the ancient Egyptians were.

The High Dam

Adrian Daninos, a Greek-born Egyptian engineer, proposed to Nasser the concept of building a dam in the Aswan region on Egypt's southern borders after the July Revolution of 1952 in order to impound the Nile waters to prevent flooding and to collect water for irrigation and power generation necessary for Egypt's growth and transition them to the age of industry. After that, you will be returned to your hotel, where our service will come to an end.
