5-Day Lake Nasser Adventure from Aswan to Abu Simbel in Egypt

Step beyond Egypt’s traditional Nile Valley and discover the spectacular landscapes, temples, and hidden history of Nubia on a 5-day, 4-night Lake Nasser cruise from Aswan to Abu Simbel aboard the Queen Tiyi Boat. This unforgettable journey combines comfortable cruising, fascinating ancient monuments, peaceful desert scenery, and some of southern Egypt’s most remarkable archaeological treasures. Lake Nasser was created following the construction of the Aswan High Dam, transforming the landscape of Nubia and leading to one of the greatest archaeological rescue campaigns in history. Numerous ancient temples and monuments were carefully relocated to higher ground, allowing travelers today to experience these extraordinary sites while cruising through a landscape where golden desert meets the deep blue waters of the lake. During your Nasser Lake cruise holiday, you will visit remarkable Nubian monuments including Kalabsha Temple, Beit El Wali, the Kiosk of Kertassi, Wadi El Seboua, Amada Temple, Derr Temple, and the Tomb of Pennut. You will also see the historic fortress of Kasr Ibrim from the water before concluding your journey at the magnificent Temples of Abu Simbel, one of Egypt’s most iconic archaeological destinations. With four nights aboard the Queen Tiyi Boat, full-board accommodation, professional guided sightseeing, and a carefully planned route through ancient Nubia, this cruise is an ideal choice for travelers looking for a more peaceful and distinctive way to explore Egypt.
