We travelled almost the whole of Egypt to Abu Simbel to see The Great Temple of Ramses II. First, to get to Aswan, we got a night sleeping train, that reached at 5am the next morning. As all cabins are double, you will be assign one that is shared by the same sex. Egypt is an islamic country hence they do not allow opposite sex to share the same cabin.
We stayed at Keylany Hotel, where they also arrange our trip to Abu Simbel. Apparently, going to Abu Simbel requires a police convoy and it will take us 2 1/2hrs to get there. We depart with the convoy at 4 am in the morning.
The temple at Abu Simbel II is truly Amazing! Just like the pyramid, its really a sight to behold. Its really worth the effort traveling the whole of Egypt to see it before your eyes!
