Egypt - Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae

"This outstanding archaeological area contains such magnificent monuments as the Temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel and the Sanctuary of Isis at Philae, which were saved from the rising waters of the Nile thanks to the International Campaign launched by UNESCO, in 1960 to 1980."

Great postcard of Abu Simbel - one of the great symbols of the power of Eyptian Pharoahs. Thanks again to Anne for sending this card from Egypt.
