Lake Nasser Cruises

Cruising the lake with our Lake Nasser Cruises

After the Aswan High Dam was built, more people went on cruises on Lake Nasser. Because the water behind the dam was expected to rise, significant transportation projects were done in the 1960s. Since there were 18 temples around, Lake Nasser is 180 miles long, and sailing on it is an experience you’ll never forget. Many temples in the area, such as Abu Simbel, had to be moved because of rising water. When you cruise Lake Nasser, you can see the beautiful scenery behind the dam. Egypt’s Lake Nasser cruises include all meals and can be a part of a custom-made trip to Egypt.

A cruise along the Nile River or sailing around Lake Nasser are also great ways to relax and see the sights. On the way, you can see many temples from the deck of a traditional wooden canoe, wooden dhow, or luxury boat. Cruises on Lake Nasser will take you to the Abu Simbel temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari, which date back to ancient Egypt and Ramesses II’s reign. When the water level rose because of the Aswan Dam, they were moved as part of a UNESCO project and cut out of the mountain.

During a Lake Nasser cruise, you will sail between Aswan and Abu Simbel for 3–4 nights across Lake Nasser to learn about the area’s Nubian myths, temples, and grand monuments. The Lake Nasser cruise will give you an unforgettable experience in Egypt. During your trip, you can have a candlelit dinner on a cruise that goes by the Abu Simbel temples, Egypt’s second most important site after the Pyramids of Giza. A trip to Lake Nasser will be one you’ll never forget.

You will also see many birds, mammals, and reptiles. More than 100 species of birds have been recorded. On Lake Nasser cruises, you might see wild ducks, Egyptian geese, pelicans, herons, egrets, and different kinds of hawks, kites, falcons, and eagles. Don’t miss out on our different trips now:

    We went on a sports group tour to Egypt beginning of Oct 2022. As we missed our connecting flight due to a delay with our initial flight, we joined the group the next evening. Egypt tours received us at the airport and organized all our transport etc.

    My tour to Egypt was one of my most memorable tours. Our group had the privilege to a great tour guide ‘Daddy Gad’ who had a great sense of humor. Traveling on the Nyl river was definitely one of the best parts of the tour. I would definitely visit Egypt again using Hello Egypt Tour!!

Frequently Asked Questions.

Some of the most common questions asked by tourists.

Is it safe to travel to Egypt?

Egypt is a safe destination, and you will have a quiet and pleasant trip to any of its extraordinary cities to do all the activities and visit all its famous sights and beaches. The tourist police, the army, and others provide total security for your visit to avoid the occurrence of any problem.

Can women travel alone? It is safe?

Women should not worry about traveling alone because it is safe, as policemen, army soldiers, and tourist police are spread all over the country to protect tourists and citizens. Therefore, you will always find them close to your location in case you need help, but you should know that problems will rarely happen, so you should not be afraid to travel to Egypt alone.

What do I need to do to obtain my tourist visa?

You must go to the Egyptian Embassy to apply for your tourist visa. In case you are from another country like Australia, Brazil, Malaysia, Western Europe, North America, or others, you are allowed to take your tourist visa upon arrival in Egypt.

Why is it more preferable to stay in a hotel near the pyramids than to stay in the center?

The first thing to do when visiting Cairo is to head to the great pyramids of Giza, especially if you are staying for a few days, and thus booking a room in a hotel near the pyramids will allow you to visit various tourist sites easily and in a short time without getting stuck in the downtown traffic jam. Hotels near the Pyramids also offer more luxurious facilities like outdoor pools, beautiful gardens to relax in, and more to ensure you get entertaining accommodation. Also, the cost of staying in a resort in the pyramids area is less than that of downtown hotels.

Is it possible to explore any of the three pyramids of Giza from the inside?

Yes, it is allowed, but there is a limited number of tickets, and you can only buy these tickets from the main entrance. You have to get there early so you can find a ticket because they sold out quickly.

Is it allowed to take photos inside the tombs?

Taking photos inside the tombs is not allowed, and at some sites like Valle del Rey, visitors are asked to put down their cameras before entering because using the camera flash can ruin artwork inside the tombs. Therefore, you must follow the rules to avoid the occurrence of any problems.

Is there certain clothing for men to enter a mosque?

Men are preferred to wear long pants and not shorts in case of entering a mosque, but they will not face any problem if they wear shorts.

Should women wear a specific outfit before entering a mosque?

It is preferred that you cover your skin and wear a headscarf as a kind of respect for the religious site, but it is not required.

Is it simple to use my credit or debit card in Egypt?

Yes, credit and debit cards are easily accepted and used throughout Egypt, including in hotels, cruise ships, shopping centers, and more. When you decide to do some shopping in the local markets, it is preferable to carry some cash because you may find that some stores do not accept cards.
