Tourists heading towards a bend while on the way to the Abu Simbel temple in Egypt

As you move towards the Abu Simbel temple (which is built into a small hill, burrowing inside), you need to move a small distance from the parking, and then turn around a hill to actually get to the temple. Lake Nasser is located very close to the temple, and for a time, it would seem that you are actually heading towards the water of the lake, but if you look closely, you can see how the tourists are walking on a defined path that curves so that it will lead away from the water.
