Nearby, you’ll find one of Egypt’s seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Nubian Monuments of Abu Simbel. Fascinating archaeological tours here take you to the enormous temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari, cut into rock facades in the desert. Museum tours at the Nubian Museum, meanwhile, can teach you about the little-known but magnificent Nubian Kingdom that ruled Egypt in the 7^th century BC.

Many Ancient Egypt history tours are centred around Luxor, where stunning sites like the wondrous Temple of Hatshepsut and the giant stone statues of the Colossi of Memnon give a glimpse into the Old World’s splendour.
