View of the smallish entrance to the Abu Simbel temple in the region of Nubia in Egypt

The entrance to the Abu Simbel temple in the region of Nubia in south Egypt. The entrance to the temple is a small entrance, shorn of any immediate carving at the entrance (although there were these 4 huge statues just a few feet to the sides of the entrance). The entrance did not allow more than a person at a time to enter comfortably, and unfortunately for me, there was a warning that photography was not allowed inside the temple. You did not have to deposit your camera (like you have to do at the Valley of the Kings) at the entrance, but it is expected that you do not try to any photography inside the temple.
