Egypt: Day 5
September 20, 2022

Above: A long line of trucks, still waiting to get past the military checkpoint three hours after we passed them arriving into Abu Simbel.
1 and 2 are in the hall of the Temple of Nefertari, showing Nefertari looking on as Ramesses II slaying one of his enemies, a mirror image of the
other side of the entrance.
3 shows a young lady holding the Ankh key to the Temple of Nefertari.
4 and 5 show Lake Nasser in front of the Abu Simbel temples.
6 shows Stephanie and Jered moving past the long row of shops. Without exception, to leave any temple or site we visited, we always had to walk
past a group of sellers or row of shops to exit. You'd think we could sneak around them ... noooo. The sellers were relentless, and if you even looked
at an item in a shop or looked at the seller, they would be on you, would sometimes chase you the entire length, lowering the price hoping for a sale.
7 is a resting place for camels and their owners after a lengthy journey.
8 to 11 show our return trip ... the long line of trucks not moving, the Western Desert, the Nile aqueduct, which seems to be showing a rescue.
