Tourists in front of the smaller temple in Abu Simbel, located in south Egypt

Tourists in front of the smaller temple, part of the twin temple complex of the Abu Simbel complex in south Egypt, in the province of Nubia. The smaller temple is known as the temple of Hathor and Nefertari, created to show the power of the royal consort, and how she was seemingly also equal to the power of the pharaoh. Tourists first visit the temple dedicated to the pharaoh, and then visit the smaller temple; and in some cases, I found some tourists who were not very interested in going inside.
