Road going from Aswan to Abu Simbel - a desolate long highway

The road between the city of Aswan and the temple of Abu Simbel. The distance between these locations is around 280 km by road, and takes a time less than 3 hours by convoy. The road is not used by others except for some use by small hamlets located on the route, by military vehicles, and by the convoys traveling between Aswan and Abu Simbel. It is not particularly wide, but is maintained in very good condition with mostly flat surroundings, except for some hillocks in the distance.
