On Sunday, February 22, 2026, the world will once again witness one of ancient Egypt’s most extraordinary achievements at the Abu Simbel Temples in Aswan. At sunrise, the sun’s rays penetrate the inner sanctuary of the Great Temple, illuminating the statues of Ramses II and the gods in a precise alignment designed over 3,000 years ago. The early-morning event, taking place between 5:00 AM and 9:00 AM, is celebrated with cultural performances, traditional music, and international attendance, offering visitors a powerful blend of astronomy, architecture, and living heritage in one unforgettable experience.
