On my adventure in Egypt, the temples of Abu Simbel stood out as one of the most remarkable archaeological sites, not only for its brilliant examples of Ancient Egyptian art but also for its sheer engineering feat. Located at the southernmost point of the country, where the mighty River Nile merges into the manmade Lake Nasser, this imposing complex is far off the trodden path. As a result, you will share it with just a fraction of the visitors you might encounter elsewhere in Egypt.
