River Nile cruises have been popular with visitors for years and more recently, Egypt has an alternative cruise destination to offer. Lake Nasser was created between 1958 and 1970 when the Aswan High Dam was built across the River Nile as a hydro-electric project. The lake is more than 300km long and is 35km wide at it’s widest point. The rising waters of Lake Nasser also meant that a number of ancient temples had to be relocated as well as some villagers whose former homes were swallowed up.
Anglers are drawn to Lake Nasser which offers excellent fishing. These fish were all originally found in the River Nile before the Aswan High Dam was built and once Lake Nasser was formed, these species thrived on their new environment. Some of the best Perch fishing in the world can be found in Lake Nasser.
