Abu Simbel (Arabic aHb+w+ s+n+b+l+ or aHb+w+ s+m+b+l+) 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. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Nubian Monuments" , which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae (near Aswan).

There are two main temples, each with a variety of internal stone carvings. Notice some of the lines where the stone cubes were sawed apart.

Also, look for a "Kilroy was here" on the lower legs of one of the 4 giant statues of Ramessess II, along with other grafitti, formerly considered fashionable.

Be sure to follow the pathway inside the fake mountain dome, to see how the mountain was constructed.
