Egypt Lake Nasr
Cruise [7 days]
Since prehistoric times, the Nile River provided the
main trade route between the Mediterranean and Africa, with Nubia
the point of contact between the two worlds. For Pharaonic, Greek,
Roman, Byzantine and Arab civilizations, Nubia was a valued province
and the corridor to Africa, the home of diverse cultures and political
powers over thousands of years.
In the last century this region has witnessed two
of the greatest engineering feats in modern history; the construction
of the Aswan High Dam with the consequent creation of Lake Nasser,
and the UNESCO project which saved the historical sites of Nubia
threatened with permanent submersion beneath the waters of the Lake.
