You will visit the two Temples of Abu Simbel, masterpieces of the Pharaohs. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the New Kingdom period and attend a very interesting Nubian ceremony to celebrate a special day, the sun festival at Abu Simbel, when the sun passes through the temple of Abu Simbel and illuminates the faces of the gods (Amun-Ra, Ramesses ll, and Ra-Horakhty), except the god Ptah, the god of darkness. This phenomenon occurs only twice a year on the day of his birth and his coronation.
