Introduction: Lake Nasser Cruises
A
timeless journey through the Legendary lands of Nubia
It has to be one of the most amazing
achievements of the 20th C when Egyptologists moved stone by stone
the ancient Temples of Abu Simbel to high ground to be saved from the flooding
caused by the building of the vast Aswan Dam. Visit these important sites and
other lesser known Temples whilst cruising on the life giving waters of the
Nile and Lake Nasser. Most cruises are
for 3-4 days, and offer a leisurely paced voyage of exploration, passing through
some of the world's most unforgettable scenery. You also glimpse the real life
of rural Egypt as the boat gently meanders past colourful riverside villages, watching from afar, as the farmers till the soil and
collect water using traditional irrigation methods.
