Tourists outside the smaller temple of the Abu Simbel temple complex in south Egypt

The temple at Abu Simbel now has 2 structures - one is the temple by the great pharaoh Ramesses II (often depicted as the greatest pharaoh in Egyptian history and also more controversially, supposed to be the pharaoh at the time of the exodus led by Moses), and the other is the temple dedicated to the Royal Queen Nefertari. This photo shows 2 tourists outside the temple in focus, and some tourists in the background. In the background, you can see more tourists. One problem with the site of course is that once you have seen these 2 temples inside out, there is nothing else to do there, and these tourists seem to have completed their trip to the temple. You can see some parts of the temple in the shape of those large characters in the structure in the back.
