About This Design

Abu Simbel Egypt Travel Magnet

Abu Simbel Egypt Travel Magnet

Abu Simbel, one of Egypt’s most awe-inspiring archaeological sites, is home to two massive rock-cut temples built by Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BCE. Located near the Sudanese border in southern Egypt, these temples were carved directly into the mountainside to honour Ramses II and his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari. The Great Temple of Abu Simbel is particularly striking, with four colossal statues of the pharaoh seated at its entrance, each standing nearly 70 feet (21 metres) tall. The temple was dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, and its inner sanctum is aligned so that, twice a year, the sun illuminates the statues of the gods and the king within the temple’s innermost chamber—a testament to the ancient Egyptians’ astronomical precision. Beyond its architectural magnificence, Abu Simbel is also famous for one of the most ambitious relocation projects in modern history. In the 1960s, the construction of the Aswan High Dam threatened to submerge the temples under the rising waters of Lake Nasser. To preserve these historic treasures, a UNESCO-led effort meticulously cut the temples into massive blocks and reassembled them on higher ground, a remarkable feat of engineering that saved them from being lost forever. Today, Abu Simbel remains a symbol of both ancient Egyptian ingenuity and modern conservation efforts, drawing visitors from around the world who come to marvel at its grandeur and historical significance.

Excellent all round, the printing is great and the magnet is streamlined, not chunky. The actual magnet is very strong. Very good quality and the price is low. Absolutely fantastic! Crisp, bright, clean.

I was expecting better. Image looks faded and the houses on the image are near folded underneath. Likely throw this in the bin.

My partner proposed on our first holiday and we ate tonnes of garlic bread. This was a perfect reminder. The magnet is strong and the quality and value for money excellent. Exactly as pictured. Superb.
