Message from Nicole Carter

The Temple of Nefertari, also known as the Small Temple at Abu Simbel, was dedicated to Queen Nefertari and the goddess Hathor by Pharaoh Ramses II. It features two colossal statues of the queen and four of Ramses II on the front facade, with smaller statues of their royal children nearby. Inside, a large Hypostyle hall with columns shaped like Hathor's head leads to a sanctuary. The temple's construction began in the twenty-fourth year of Ramses II's reign, showcasing the love and respect he had for his beloved queen.
