Lake Nasser

Egypt is home to Lake Nasser.

A man-made lake, Lake Nasser is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world.

around 83 percent of it is Egyptian territory, while the remaining 24 percent is Sudanese land (the remaining 13 percent).

Many Sudanese refugees who were forced to evacuate their homes due to the Nile’s catastrophic floods have found sanctuary in Lake Nubia.

What to Do:

Abu Simbel, which is situated on Lake Nasser, may be reached in three hours by car from Aswan, six hours by train from Luxor, and one hour by plane from Cairo.

The following is a quick chronology:

The dams and lakes created by the construction of the Nile dams and lakes displaced the Nubian people that had lived along the Nile for thousands of years.

However, the international community and other groups assisted in the relocation of numerous historic sites to drier land.

They include Kalabsha’s Temple of the Mandulis, which is seldom visited.

As demonstrated by the blend of styles on the exquisite wall carvings on the walls, this healing Temple, attributed to the Nubian fertility god Marul (Mandulis in Greek) (Mandulis in Greek)

Ptolemaic-Roman era was the most significant period for restoration.

The magnificent Ptolemaic Kiosk of Kertassi and the modest rock-hewn Temple of Beit al wali are close across the street from one another.

This edifice was built in honour of Pharaoh Ramses II, who is seen fighting the rebellious Nubians on the reliefs.

Only Wadi al Sebua, Dakka, and Amanda’s intriguing but more secluded temple complexes may be visited.

as well as the fortress site of Qasr Ibrim, onboard a luxury cruise liner, but new roads are being created to link them.

Fishing expeditions on the lake’s beautiful waters, which are home to a few crocodiles, the elusive tiger fish, and the huge Nile perch, which is one of the world’s largest freshwater fish, are growing increasingly popular.

Fishing has been a popular pastime in Lake Nasser, which hosts a number of international sporting events each year.
