Hyatt Hotels - Enjoy Hyatt Regency Resort at Sharm El Sheikh
Extend
your stay one night in Abu Simbel :
Abu Simbel:
Ramses the Great's huge desert temple at Abu Simbel marked the southern
border of the pharaoh's dominions. Rescued from the rising waters
of Lake Nasser by an international effort, it is a marvel of sacred
engineering. Twice a year‹and only then‹the sun penetrates to the
Holy of Holies, illuminating the stone figures of Ramses and Nefertari.
We've planned our visit to maximize your Abu Simbel experience. Rising
before dawn, we drive along the shore of Lake Nasser, watching the
sky lighten and the sacred sun rise above the horizon. We reach the
temple while the air is clean, clear and cool, and the sun's light
still golden‹just right for photographs. We explore the huge temple
by ourselves, admire its ancient aura and artistry, then retire to
a comfortable hotel for refreshments. Just as planeloads of visitors
arrive to throng the temple we begin our leisurely drive back along
the shore to Aswan, arriving late afternoon.
When you add one night in Aswan.
Jacquie
Kennedy & Abu Simbel:
All Americans alive during the 1960s remember President John F Kennedy
and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Most Americans from that
time also remember Abu Simbel, the dramatic, ancient pharaonic temple
threatened by the rising waters blocked by the new Aswan High Dam.
It's worth remembering that it was Jacquie Kennedy who provided crucial
support for the mammoth rescue project. Without her help, Abu Simbel
might have been lost. Read
