Security check point on the trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel in Egypt

Security check point on the trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel in Egypt

Abu Simbel is a very significant tourist destination for people visiting Egypt, located in the southern part of Egypt. The tourist destination is located in a remote area, and it takes around 2.5 - 3 hours of drive to reach Abu Simbel from the nearest big location (Aswan) (although you can also get there by ship and by plane). Since the location and the route is very isolated, there are security risks and hence there are more security personnel and security officers on route. In fact, the entire travel is done on convoys that set out from Aswan at 2 different times in the day. This photo is of a security check point on the route.
