Security personnel outside the entrance of the Abu Simbel temple in south Egypt

For the last many years, Egypt has been focusing on ensuring that there is a high level of security in the tourist sites in the country, ever since there were some terrorist attacks that claimed the life of many foreign tourists in Cairo and at Queen Hatshepsut's temple in the 1990's. As a result, in order to save the tourism industry, the security infrastructure had been enhanced all over, and given the isolated location of the Abu Simbel temple, the security conditions for the Abu Simbel visit are controlled, with visitors allowed to travel there in convoys, twice a day. At the temple, there are many security personnel along with security scanners to provide the required level of security.
