Egyptian army soldiers filling a tanker with water at a middle point

The route leading to the Abu Simbel temple from the city of Aswan is a long route, around 280 km and which takes around 3 hours (the route normally has very little traffic except for the traffic heading to and fro to Abu Simbel). Vehicles travel in convoys at fairly high speeds to get there, but the entire route is fairly deserted with not too many facilities available on the way. In between, we could see that there was a water tanker which was being helped to be filled by army soldiers.
