We are going to take a little cruise on Lake Nasser.
Most of the time the cruises go up and down the Nile river but there are many sites to see along Lake Nasser. The most famous of which is Abu Simbel, which will be the END of our cruise.
Our first stop is at Beit el Wali: Built by Ramses II in Nubia, it was dedicated to four different gods in Egypt. Beit el Wali means "House of the Holy Man" so it is thought that there was probably a monk/hermit that lived there at some time.
There is a large amount of original color inside the temple but the Forecourt is the most interesting and unique to temples of that period.
Tour Egypt with Me!
