Abu Simbel is a pair of ancient rock temples in southern Egypt, built by Pharaoh Ramses II around 1264 BCE to glorify himself and his queen Nefertari. The temples are renowned for their monumental scale, intricate carvings, and alignment that allows sunlight to illuminate the inner sanctum on specific days of the year. In the 1960s, they were relocated in an incredible engineering feat to save them from submersion caused by the creation of the Aswan High Dam’s reservoir, Lake Nasser.
The Alhambra is a stunning palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Spain, renowned for its intricate Islamic architecture and beautiful gardens. It was originally constructed in the 13th century by the Nasrid dynasty and later expanded by subsequent rulers. The palace is famous for its exquisite decorative elements, including ornate arches, tilework, and reflecting pools, showcasing the art and culture of medieval Spain.
