Lake Nasser Cruises

South of Aswan lies the new High Dam which created the huge Lake Nasser, and the temples here - where Ramses III large temples in Abu Simbel are the most known, was saved in late sixties through a worldwide effort.

These wonderful monuments have been nearly unreachable for visitors (apart from Philae and Abu Simbel) up to the first ship on Lake Nasser, “MS Eugenie” was built.

MS Eugenie was the first ship to initiate the now so popular Lake Nasser Cruises. The elegant ship has 52 cabins and suites where the standard cabins each are 21 square meters - all with Lake Nasser view.
