Aswan & Lake Nasser

Small enough to walk around and graced with the most beautiful setting on the Nile, the pace of life is slow and relaxing. Days can be spent strolling up and down the broad Corniche watching the sailboats etch the sky with their tall masts or sitting in floating restaurants listening to Nubian music and eating freshly caught fish.

View the spectacular sunsets while having tea on the terrace of the Old Cataract Hotel (Named due to the location of the Nile's first cataract located here). Aswan has been a favorite winter resort since the beginning of the nineteenth century, and it's still a perfect place to get away from it all.


Lake Nasser is the world's largest man-made lake, which was created in the 1960s after the foundation of the "High Dam" or Al-sadd Al-cali, which is considered one of most impressive contemporary project in the world in this domain for providing irrigation and electricity for the country.

This artificial lake, which is named for the prominent Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser (1956-1970), is 500-km length that covers an area of 5,248 km2. One third of the lakes length belongs to Sudan for about 150 km and it is called Nubia Lake. Its width is varying from 10 to 30 km. Its main depth is 25.2 km and maximum depth is 130 m so its water capacity is for about 157 billion m3, that's why it is considered as the second largest after the Zambezi.

The foundation of Lake Nasser had threatened the temples of Abu Simbel, erected by King Ramses II around 1200 BC it stood on the land of the lake so it would be drowned by the water causing the destruction of one of the greatest human heritages.
