Tourists outside the base of the Abu Simbel temple in South Egypt, some distance away from Aswan

Abu Simbel is a very popular tourist destination in Egypt, famous for the huge statues of the Pharaoh Ramesses II at the gate of the temple, and the movement of the temple to evade the rising waters of Lake Nasser in the 1960's.
However, at the same time, many tourists do not go there just because of the effort involved in getting there; you need to first go to Aswan, and from there either fly, take a ship on the Lake, or take a tourist vehicle to travel the lonely 280 Km to the temple (located in the midst of nowhere).
