Abu Simbel is a historic site comprising two massive rock-cut temples in the village of Abu Simbel (Arabic: أبو سمبل), Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt, near the border with Sudan. It is located on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 230 km (140 mi) southwest of Aswan (about 300 km (190 mi) by road). The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside in the 13th century BC, during the 19th Dynasty reign of the Pharaoh Ramesses II. Their huge external rock relief figures of Ramesses II have become iconic. His wife, Nefertari, and children can be seen in smaller figures by his feet.

The Abu Simbel Temples are located in the village of Abu Simbel, in Aswan Governorate in upper Egypt, near the modern border with Sudan. The complex is located on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 230 km / 140 miles southwest of Aswan in a direct line, or around 300 km / 190 miles by road. It lies at approximately 22°20′13″N latitude / 22.3369°N, placing it about 122 km / 75.8 miles south of the Tropic of Cancer. Its position near the ancient Nubian frontier made it highly symbolic, as it marked the southern power zone of Egypt during the New Kingdom (1570–1070 BCE). The Abu Simbel Temples are located in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt, near the border with Sudan, on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 230 km southwest of Aswan and around 300 km by road.

The Philae temple complex (; Ancient Greek: Φιλαί or Φιλή and Πιλάχ, Arabic: فيلة Egyptian Arabic: [fiːlæ], Egyptian: p3-jw-rķ' or 'pA-jw-rq; Coptic: ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲕ, ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲕϩ, Coptic pronunciation: [ˈpilɑk, ˈpilɑkh]) is an island-based temple complex in the reservoir of the Aswan Low Dam, downstream of the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, Egypt in Africa.

With the construction of the modern dam in Aswan (1960–1970) a few kilometers upstream, this temple was goin…

The dam was seen as pivotal to the country's industrialization plans. Like the Aswan Low Dam, which had been completed in 1902, the High Dam has changed the economy and culture of Egypt.
