  • Eugenie tourist cruise M/V near the sand dunes of Nasser Lake  between Aswan and Abu Simbel. 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. In 1971, with the construction of the Aswan High Dam, an extraordinary campaign of UNESCO saved many temples. The most difficult rescue operation was the salvage of Abu Simbel monumental complex. The Great Temple, 11.000 square cubic meters, and the small Temple of Nefertari were dismantled and rebuilt with the same alignment on an artificial hill 65 meters above. Today only few small cruise ships reach the Nubian monuments, far from the mass tourism of Nile valley.
