Abu Simbel:- Abu Simbel is a temple complex of two majestic rock-cut temples. Located on the western bank of Lake Naseer, the temples were dedicated to the sun gods Amon-Re and Ra-Horakhte. The interior is equally impressive. It features eight Osiride statues of Rameses II. They are attached to pillars and support the roof and are constructed in such a way that the sun shines on these statues only twice in a year, on October 22 and February 22, which happen to be his birthday and his coronation day.
Red Sea Reef:- The Red Sea, off the coast of Egypt, is home to a diverse range of marine habitats. Colourful coral reefs and to thousands of different sea creatures call it home. That is why it offers an excellent experience to divers and snorkelers. The clear waters of the Red Sea reveal some of the most spectacular seascapes even to those who do not dive in.
Dahab, located near the southern tip of Sinai is a popular destination along the Red Sea that is rich in adventure activities. Snorkelling, scuba diving, wind surfing and camel and jeep safaris are some of the popular indulgences here.
