What makes Lake Nasser different from the Nile River?

Lake Nasser is an extensive lake formed by the construction of the Aswan High Dam. The desert scenery is absolutely stunning. It is possible to visit Nubian temples located extremely far from the highly populated banks of the Nile, which provide you with a completely new sensation compared to the Nile’s richly populated banks.

Is Lake Nasser safe for tourism?

Yes, it is safe to go on a Lake Nasser cruise. The boats go through an area that is watched by the authorities. You will also have a guide with you at all times. The fact that it is away from cities is part of what makes it exciting, not something to be scared of.

What wildlife might I see on this cruise?

With five days on the lake, you are more likely to see Nile crocodiles lying on the shore and different types of birds like herons and ospreys. Sometimes you can even see desert foxes or Barbary sheep on the cliffs. Do not forget to bring your binoculars to get a look at the wildlife on Lake Nasser.

Are the temples like Kalabsha, Amada, and Wadi El Seboua worth visiting?

Yes, they are definitely worth visiting if you like history and want to see something. These temples have beautiful carvings and interesting stories about how they were moved. Their layout and low crowding allow for greater comfort for its visitors.

Why is Kasr Ibrim special?

Kasr Ibrim is a Nubian fortress that is on a cliff high above Lake Nasser. It was built a long time ago on higher ground and was not covered by water when the lake was made. You can only get to Kasr Ibrim by taking a cruise on Lake Nasser, which makes it a very special place to visit. Kasr Ibrim is one of the unique sites on Lake Nasser.
