Aswan and Temples of Abu Simbel

3:00 AM bus ride to Abu Simbel, near Sudan border.
-Amazing temples - Ramses II and Hathor, right along Lake Nasser.
-Sunset felucca (sailboat) ride along Elephantine Island and the Old Cataract Hotel (site of Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile".) Almost crashed into concrete steps along the dock. I got to steer the boat for a while.
