Muslim men offering prayers near the temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt

Egypt is an Islamic country, and the people are fairly comfortable with their religious duties. For Muslims, prayer to Allah, with them kneeling in a direction that points to Mecca is a part of their religious duty. In this photo, you can see the Muslim staff of the tourist location of Abu Simbel doing their prayers; all they need to do is to take off their footwear, do ablutions to purify themselves, and then use a sheet to kneel and complete their prayers.
