The Abu Simbel temples faced significant threats primarily from rising water levels due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s. This led to concerns that the temples would be submerged, prompting an international campaign for their preservation. As a result, the temples were meticulously relocated to higher ground, a monumental engineering feat that ensured their survival. Today, the site is protected, but it still faces challenges from tourism and environmental factors.
