Abu Simbel
En route to Abu Simbel
Sunrise over Lake Nassar
First glimpse of Abu Simbel - from the air
Note:
- The large and small temples
- The articifial mountain
- The long shadows of morning
- The lack of people
- The little section of Nile showing the water level
- From this vantage, it is hard to get a feel for the massive size and the amount of effort it took to move
the entire thing to this location.
