Near the southern border of Egypt lies the temple of Abu Simbel, one of the most impressive monuments in Egypt. It is associated with the phenomenon of the sunβs rays falling on the face of the statue of Pharaoh Ramses II twice a year, the first time on October 22 and the second time on February 22.
