4am
at 4am to go to abuse
so
yeah it's a three-hour bus ride but it's supposed to be super cool
so we have breakfast included with our hotel
but they gave us a little to-go bag that we can take on the van all right i hope i can sleep
abu symbol is an unesco world heritage site and it's also the second biggest tourist attraction
in egypt after the pyramids of giza it's two temples in the very south of egypt really
close to sudan because it's so far south it's kind of out of the way to get to most people do
just like a day trip like this we made it it's almost 8 o'clock that means it was closer to four
hours to get here than three we're here two hours and then four hours back home
so it's kind of crazy tickets were what 255
and yeah there's water everywhere so cool so the temples were built
right next to the nile and then after the azwan dam was made the water in the nile started to rise
and it was actually going to destroy the temples so in the 1960s there was this crazy international
project to cut the temples into pieces move them about 200 meters back from the nile
and then reassemble them exactly how they work brothers just reminded me there's crocodiles here
because now we're under the aslon dam in luxor and as one there's no crocodiles but here there are
luckily we're here early it's now 8 am so we are gonna check it out
you
