The hillock where the temple dedicated to the queen (part of the temple of Abu Simbel) is located

The temple at Abu Simbel actually consists of 2 temples, hence are known as twin temples, with one temple dedicated to the pharaoh Ramesses II and the other to his queen Nefertari. This photo is the side of the hillock where the smaller temple is locate (with the temple also being known as the temple of Hathor and Nefertari, being dedicated to the goddess Hathor and the royal queen consort Nefertari). In this photo, you can see tourists in front of the temple, and the entrance to the temple with the statues on the front of the temple. These statues do not look as big as the statues in front of the temple dedicated to the pharaoh, but are still big.
