Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser

This excursion from Aswan will show you Egypt`s foremost engineering marvel—the massive Aswan Dam and the lake it created, Lake Nasser. You will see how, in the 20th century, mankind managed to tame the Nile, and you will learn how ancient temples were rescued from flooding. From the viewing platform, you will appreciate the scale of the dam and the lotus-shaped monument, while from the terraces of the relocated Temple of Kalabsha, dedicated to a Nubian god, you will be treated to the beautiful views of the man-made lake.
