Cheap holidays to Abu Simbel, Egypt

Discover the Nubian Monuments at Abu Simbel, Egypt. This UNESCO World Heritage site was formed in 24 A.D, when people carved into the mountainside under the instruction of Ramses II. The mountains haven't changed for thousands of years, but their location most certainly has. The entire site was carved up, moved and rejoined during the sixties, to make sure that neighbouring Lake Nasser didn't cause significant damage. One of the best ways to enjoy the spectacle is during a light show in the evening, when enormous lights and fireworks illuminate the carvings beautifully. If you travel during October or February however, you’ll experience the Abu Simbel Festival. This event celebrates the birthday of Ramses II, and tourists flock into the temple at sunrise to witness the illumination of the inner sanctum. It's one of the most impressive sights in the world, and one to be remembered. For last minute deals to the area, give Fleetway Travel a call today.
