Abu Simbel

One of the most marvelous and magical places I've had the luck to be in! The Temple of Abu Simbel, built for Ramses II, moved to south Egypt. Taken during August 2015.

    I've been there too. Have you been into the Pyramids in Kairo? I was... :-)

    Yes! @gepo1303 I went to Giza and walked around them. I didn't go inside the pyramid because there's not really anything to see in it, and the pyramid of Menkaure (the smaller one) was the only one open to visits.

    I've been into the Cheops Pyramid (and the smaller one too, but that wasn't so cool). There are only 500 ticktets per day. You can walk deep inside 'til the main tomb chamber. A real adventure...

    I would've gone to the Cheops Pyramid, in case it was open for visits (nowadays they only have one of the three pyramids open at a time, and they switch between them from months to months).
    I've been inside the pyramids of Saqqara, though. They had the most beautiful reliefs on the inside, on their walls! @gepo1303
