Upper Egypt / Nile Valley
Abu Simbel
Ramses II's colossal monument to himself
Four 20-meter statues of Ramses II, carved directly into a mountainside and relocated stone by stone in the 1960s to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. A long day trip from Aswan, and worth every minute of the drive.

Full day (about 8–10 hours)Abu Simbel Excursion from Aswan
Four seated colossi of Ramesses II, twenty metres high, cut into a cliff at the far southern edge of Egypt — then sawn into a thousand blocks in the 1960s and rebuilt sixty metres higher to keep Lake Nasser off them. It is the single most impressive thing in the country, and it is a long way to go. Worth every hour.
