The Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Egypt. Monuments in this site include the famous Temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel and the Sanctuary of Isis at Philae. Egyptian King Ramses II built two temples in southern Egypt’s Abu Simbel. Four huge statues of Ramses placed in the front is a notable feature of the main temple.
When the artificial water reservoir called Lake Nasser was being built in the 1960s, Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae were completely relocated to prevent them from being flooded. The site was moved to an artificial hill above Aswan High Dam on the River Nile in 1968.
