Most people only see Lake Nasser from a bus window on a 3-hour ride from Aswan to Abu Simbel. Why not spend a few nights on the lake itself on a specially designed boat that can fit into every inlet. A full staff accompanies each boat, including a guide and chef. Visiting secluded temples, trekking through the dunes, and fishing are all part of the experience.
