Lake Nasser Cruise Packages
Nile and Lake Nasser combined: seven nights on the water and Abu Simbel by night.
The most complete way to travel through Upper Egypt: a classic Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan followed by three nights on Lake Nasser to Abu Simbel, visiting Nubian temples that can only be reached by boat.
How the Nile and Lake Nasser fit together
The Nile cruise covers Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan. Above the High Dam the river becomes Lake Nasser, where a separate, smaller fleet sails to the Nubian temples and Abu Simbel. Combining the two means changing ships at Aswan.
- Best season: October to April.
- Pace: days on the lake are quiet, with long stretches of sailing between temples.
- Abu Simbel: the ship moors in front of the temples for the evening Sound and Light Show.
