Egypt River Cruises
Egypt's Mysterious Nile River & Lake Nasser
Journey along the lifeline of Egyptian
civilization, experiencing incredible sights
that include ancient temples, tombs, and
local villages. Measuring 4,160 miles, the Nile is
the longest river in the world, flowing north from
Lake Victoria through Uganda, Sudan, and Egypt.
Passing rainforests, mountains, savannas, swamps,
and desert landscapes, it culminates in the fertile
Nile Delta and drains into the Mediterranean Sea.
Lake Nasser is a vast reservoir created in the 1960s
when the High Dam was built to harness the waters
of the Nile. As the waters rose, they threatened to
engulf many sites of historical significance. Several
ancient Egyptian and Nubian archaeological sites
were dismantled and moved to higher ground, the
most important being Abu Simbel. As you sail the
tranquil waters, it is hard to imagine how much still
lies submerged. The lake is remote and sparsely
populated by fishermen and Bedouin camel and
sheep herdsmen.
