Workers on some restoration process near the Abu Simbel statues in South Egypt

When you go to any site in Egypt that boasts of some ancient monument, you will find some restoration process. Egypt only really started caring for its historic monuments and realizing their tourist potential a few decades back, and ever since then, there is a regular process of stabilization and restoration of these monuments that is ongoing. In addition, there are a number of such monuments all over the country that need to have prioritization in terms of restoration process, and working on such ancient structures needs a lot of time to be spent in the restoration process.
In this case, there were these workers on some restoration project around a hundred meters or so from the statues and the temple, enough distance that tourists would not be distracted by this restoration process.
