"I'd love to do this on bicycle, but the distance between resupply points (for water primarily) will be the limiting factor"
I assumed the new road was effectively just the bit between Abu Simbel and Wadi Halfa. There is a junction a few km from Abu Simbel clearly sign posted Abu Simbel one way and Wadi Halfa the other (of course there is also a road block).
If so, it's can only be 50/60km from there to Wadi Halfa. There are definitely reprovisioning options along the road as far as Abu Simbel (230km from Aswan).
