Drivers and tourists near the parked buses at the Abu Simbel temple in Egypt

Abu Simbel is an integral part of the route for many tourists (arriving there by flight, or by cruise ship, or by road). The most popular way for people to get there is through the road route, taking a 3 hour trip on an empty road that leads from Aswan to Abu Simbel. This trip is through regulated convoys, twice a day, and a number of buses and other tourist vehicles make this trip. This photo shows the parking site of the temple along with the buses parked there and the drivers of these buses.
