Lake Nasser was formed when the High Dam was built above Aswan on the Nile. Built between 1960 and 1972 by Russian engineers, the High Dam has meant the end of Egypt's dependence on the annual flooding of the Nile, but has brought its own problems.  The most pressing of these at the time of construction was the flooding of the Nile Valley in Nubian, which would cover both modern villages and many ancient Egyptian sites in deep water. Several important Nubian and Ancient Egyptian archaeological sites, most spectacularly the temples at Abu Simbel, were dismantled block by block and moved to higher ground. The Sudanese River port and railway terminal of Wadi Halfa was lost beneath the waters and Egypt's entire Nubian community from the upper reaches of the Nile saw their villages disappear and were forced to relocate. Named in honors of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the second President of Egypt who led the bloodless coup that toppled the monarchy of King Farouk, Lake Nasser is a now a vast reservoir straddling southern Egypt and northern Sudan.

Pleasure barges have always featured prominently in Egypt’s history. Cleopatra and Julius Caesar spent nine months sailing around Egypt. Ottoman officials insisted on the grandeur of the Dahabiya Cruise for their journeys. European visitors from the 1860s onwards preferred to hire a Dahabiya at Cairo for a luxury Nile Cruise at a civilized pace. Now you too can explore Egypt inelegance. The name Dahabiya is Arabic for “golden boat” after the gilded railings and fittings that adorned these magnificent pleasure craft. Modern replicas of these classically elegant vessels use the traditional configuration of two lateen sails to assist propulsion, so speed of travel along the Nile River is slower, more relaxed and more contemplative giving you more time to take in the sights as they gently glide by and really appreciate your surroundings.
