View of the temple of the Abu Simbel from a distance, giving an overall view

A view of the domed structure that now contains the temple of Abu Simbel (or part of the structure, since the actual structure contains 2 temples); the area that is seen is the temple of the pharaoh Ramesses II, and to the right you can see a small part of the structure of the smaller temple, that of the primary queen Nefertari (who had an exalted status, given the presence of such a temple, since normally the queen would be just a much smaller statue coming upto the knees of the pharaoh). The Abu Simbel complex consists of 2 such temples, both of them moved from a lower point where they would have been submerged by the water (refer this link for images of the temple before the movement of the temple).
