Path from the parking to the entrance gate of the Abu Simbel temple in South Egypt

The temple of Abu Simbel in South Egypt is located in an area where there is little else, and hence it has a lot of space for itself. In this photo, you can see the distance of the entrance gate from the parking area of the temple. Inspite of the area being mostly barren, there are a lot of efforts by the local administration to try and plant some amount of greenery, such as these trees planted on the central verge (and a number of trees inside the compound of the temple).
