I strongly recommend a visit to Abu Simbel, 3 hours by car from Luxor and 40 minutes by plain. Many people does not consider a visit to this temple basically because it is the only thing to see, there is not much more, but the greatness of the temple worth the ride. Built by Ramses II, the color, the light. Sculpted in rock. It was moved 246 meters because of the dam of Asuan, very impressive.
