So many festivals, so little time! Another unique festival is the Sun Festival held at Abu Simbel. Egyptian mythology dictates that Sun God is the most superior God. This festival is celebrated twice in a year, on 22nd February and 22nd October. On these days the sunrays penetrate the Abu Simbel temple, reaching its innermost sanctum, brightening all the Gods like Ra, Amun and Ramses while keeping the Goddess of darkness in the shadows. If you want to pick one festival during which to visit, make it this one. It will make you believe in the powers that may be.
For an Egyptian holiday in a secular and peaceful land, choose a carefully curated Egypt tour package from SOTC and sync your holiday to any festival you choose.
