Space near the front of the Abu Simbel temple in Egypt along with the lake waters

Some of the space in front and to the side of the Abu Simbel temple in south Egypt. Even though there was a river flowing next door (much expanded now since the waters levels increased after the formation of the Lake Nasser with the construction of the dam at Aswan), the region mostly seems like a desert with dry and sandy surface. So, there are a few trees (which actually seem out of place) along with some facilities for the tourists who come to this location. The view of the lake is great from this location and looks good overall.
