A private Lake Nasser cruise between Aswan and Abu Simbel, in either direction, visiting Kalabsha, Beit el-Wali, Wadi es-Sebua, Amada, Derr and Abu Simbel, with an Egyptologist guide and full board on the ship.
Overview
Sail on a private Lake Nasser cruise between Aswan and Abu Simbel and visit the Nubian temples that were rescued from the rising water in the 1960s. These monuments are listed together as the Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae UNESCO World Heritage site. Choose a 5-day, 4-night Lake Nasser cruise from Aswan to Abu Simbel, or a 4-day, 3-night cruise from Abu Simbel to Aswan. Either way, you step ashore at the temples along the lake, pass the island fortress of Qasr Ibrim and visit Abu Simbel, with an Egyptologist guide at every stop.
Because you sleep on the ship during the Lake Nasser cruise, there are no long road transfers between the sites. The ship sails while you eat, rest or watch the desert shore from the sundeck, and each morning you arrive at the next temple.
On the 5-day Lake Nasser cruise :
- The Aswan High Dam, Philae Temple and the Unfinished Obelisk
