Lake Nasser - unspoilt wilderness and breathtaking nature
With a length of around 500 kilometres, Lake Nasser is one of the largest artificial lakes in the world and stretches from Egypt to Sudan. It was created during the construction of the Aswan Dam in the 1960s. As it is barely populated, Lake Nasser offers a pure desert landscape in its original beauty. The contrast between desert and water makes a boat tour on Lake Nasser a special experience. As many areas can only be reached by boat, a boat trip is also particularly exclusive. The breathtaking nature and unspoilt wilderness provide a habitat for various animal species. Lake Nasser is a favourite resting place for migratory birds in winter and is also home to the Nile crocodile.
Abu Simbel - a masterpiece of Egyptian art and architecture
Abu Simbel is a masterpiece of Egyptian architecture and consists of two rock temples built by Pharaoh Ramses II. Four colossal statues of Ramses adorn the façade of the main temple complex of Egypt’s impressive archaeological site.
Inside the temple, ornate reliefs tell of the military successes of Ramesses II, including the famous Battle of Kadesh. A special highlight is the miracle of the sun: twice a year, the sunlight penetrates the sanctuary and illuminates the statues of three gods – only Ptah, the god of the underworld, remains in the dark.
