Travel Tips from people who've been to Abu Sunbul
Je n'ai pas voulu passer par le passage "quasi obligé" de la structure moderne qui montre l'envers du décor : les poutres métalliques qui supportent tout le temple). C'est possible, il suffit de refuser et faire le tour du temple à pied, pour rejoindre ensuite le parking d'autobus. Il fait plus chaud dehors que dedans évidemment, mais on reste ainsi dans l'ambiance ...

Abu Simbel is for egiptian peoples the most beautifull place in Egypt. Ramses II build two temples (big and little), and at the end of the big temple, there is a room where the sunlight came twice a year. At the birth of the Ramses II, and at the day of his coronation.  
It is far far away from the nearest city Aswan.
