Quote :

“Ibrahim also mentioned the new vision of using the mountainous highlands surrounding it to build a new hotel or motels in Nubian architectural style, as well as bazaars, cafeterias and restaurants.

The vision also includes the establishment of a museum that tells the story of the rescue of the temples similar to the museum of Abu Simbel, to provide all the historical and archaeological information and enjoy a full touristic experience.”

Yuk!!

Hope I’ll be long dead before they desecrate this peaceful spot.

Right oh! 'that'll bring them all flocking back, those elusive tourists. Just after a quick visit to the new
museum and a McDonalds in downtown new Cairo..ffs.... 8)

Never found it much of a hassle myself, maybe the fact that you have to get there via a small boat controlls the numbers better.
