Egypt/ Nubia

Nubian temples saved by the water by an extraordinary international vampaign of UNESCO, as part of the world's cultural heritage. Over 20 monuments were saved. Uadi Sebuah, "Valley of the Lions": the temple built by Ramses II. Once the Nubia, a region rich in gold, was a necessary link between Equatorial Africa and the Mediterranean civilisations. The pharaohs build many temples in Nubia, the most grandiose expression is Abu Simbel built by Ramesses II. Today only few small cruise ships reach the Nubian monuments, far from the mass tourism of Nile valley.
