Home / Aswan / Lake Nasser Cruise
A serene, remote cruise across the vast waters of Lake Nasser — gliding past rescued Nubian temples and great empty horizons toward the unforgettable monuments of Abu Simbel.رحلةٌ هادئة نائية عبر مياه بحيرة ناصر الشاسعة — منسابةً بمحاذاة معابدَ نوبية مُنقَذة وآفاقٍ خاوية واسعة نحو آثار أبو سمبل التي لا تُنسى.
For travellers seeking something different from the classic Nile cruise, a voyage on Lake Nasser offers a uniquely serene and remote experience. Sailing the vast inland sea created by the High Dam, far from the crowds, these cruises glide past a series of magnificent Nubian temples — rescued from the rising waters and rebuilt on the shore — before culminating at the awe-inspiring temples of Abu Simbel. It is a peaceful, otherworldly journey through a landscape of water, desert, and ancient stone.
للمسافرين الباحثين عن شيءٍ مختلف عن رحلة النيل الكلاسيكية، تقدّم رحلةٌ على بحيرة ناصر تجربةً فريدة الهدوء والبُعد. فبالإبحار في البحر الداخلي الشاسع الذي أنشأه السد العالي، بعيدًا عن الحشود، تنساب هذه الرحلات بمحاذاة سلسلةٍ من المعابد النوبية الرائعة — المُنقَذة من المياه المتصاعدة والمُعاد بناؤها على الشاطئ — قبل أن تبلغ ذروتها عند معابد أبو سمبل المهيبة. إنها رحلةٌ هادئة سحرية عبر أرضٍ من الماء والصحراء والحجر القديم.
A Different Cruise · رحلةٌ مختلفة
Remote, serene, uncrowded.نائيةٌ وهادئة وغير مزدحمة.
Unlike the busy river cruises between Luxor and Aswan, a Lake Nasser cruise sails the vast, open waters of the reservoir behind the High Dam. With far fewer boats and a sense of true remoteness, it offers a wonderfully peaceful and uncrowded experience, surrounded by enormous skies, empty desert shores, and shimmering water. For those who love tranquillity and big landscapes, it is a magical and unusual way to explore the deep south of Egypt.
Rescued Temples · معابد مُنقَذة
Saved from the waters.مُنقَذةٌ من المياه.
The great appeal of the cruise is its chain of relocated Nubian temples, all saved from the rising lake and rebuilt on its shores. Stops typically include temples such as Wadi es-Sebua, with its avenue of sphinxes, as well as Dakka, Amada, and others, each a fascinating monument in a dramatic lakeside setting. The journey builds toward its climax: the colossal rock temples of Abu Simbel, themselves famously rescued and seen at their best from the water.
The Experience · التجربة
A voyage to remember.رحلةٌ تُذكَر.
Lake Nasser cruises usually last around three to four days, aboard comfortable boats, and often begin or end at Abu Simbel. Days are spent visiting temples and relaxing on deck, watching the desert shores and birdlife slip by under vast skies, with spectacular sunsets over the water. Remote, peaceful, and steeped in both ancient history and the modern story of the lake's creation, it is one of the most distinctive journeys in all of Egypt's south.
