Trees and a path around the hillocks that contain the Abu Simbel temple in Egypt

A view of the trees and the path that surround the temple of Abu Simbel in south Egypt. The twin temples have been placed on and inside 2 hillocks, not occupying too much space. Around the hillocks, there is a path that takes a person on a small round of the hillock, although there is not much to see at the back of the hillock. And for such a sandy area, there are many trees nearby (but then the Nile is also very close, so that would help).
