Trees at the base of the hillock of the Abu Simbel temple in Egypt near the path around the temple

As you reach the temple of Abu Simbel and the hillocks that contain the 2 twin temples, there is a path that takes you around the first hillock. This is a photo of the trees located near the starting point of the path. Given the barrenness of the area and the desert, there are very few trees and only small patches of greenery in the area. Even the presence of the River Nile very close by does not really make a difference to the desolate area.
