|  | | | Cruising on Lake Nasser | | A cruise on Lake Nasser is the perfect way to see more of this fabulous country. On board the luxurious MS Kasr Ibrim you will visit forts and temples en route to the highlight of your cruise - the magnificent Temples of Abu Simbel.
Built by Ramses II in approximately 1270 BC these impressive temples were not rediscovered until 1813 as they were completely covered by sand. In the 20th century they had to be moved 60 metres up the cliff by UNESCO to avoid being flooded by the completion of the Aswan High Dam; an historical feat in itself. To approach these colossal monuments from the water is a truly breathtaking sight. Combine this spectacular cruise with a few days in Cairo or an extended stay in Aswan at the impressive Old Cataract Hotel.
