As our airplane came in to land at Abu Simbel, I shot this image of the "new" site of the Rameside temples built by Ramses II at Abu Simbel.
The original site of the temples is some 200+ feet below the man-made mountain that is their new home.
When the temples were raised, engineers carefully sited them exactly as they were originally,
with the sun piercing the innermost sanctum twice a year on dates important to Ramses II's reign.

Unfortunately, It is no longer possible to photograph inside the temples at Abu Simbel.
