Cruise to Egypt. Visit Abu Simbel on an African Cruise from Destination Oceans!

Experience the beauty and culture of Egypt on a Greek Isles cruise stop in Abu Simbel with Destination Oceans. Abu Simbel is an archaeological site comprising two massive rock temples in southern Egypt on the western bank of Lake Nasser about 290 km southwest of Aswan. Get a feel for what it was like over 700 years ago when these great kings had these first built.

The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari, to commemorate his alleged victory at the Battle of Kadesh, and to intimidate his Nubian neighbors. However, the complex was relocated in its entirety in the 1960s, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan dam reservoir. On a Greek Mediterranean cruise of Egypt see where they stood and where they stand now.

Transportation to and from the temple can easily be arranged from any cruise ship. You will quickly realize that a Greek Isles cruise is the easiest way to see all that Egypt has to offer. With Destination Oceans, you will have Your Vacation, Your Way for a holiday you will always remember.
