8 Days / 7 Nights

In Egypt the 1960s a dam was built on the Nile at Aswan. The resulting lake flooded over 300 miles of the Egypt's Nile valley creating one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. With a surface area of over 2,400 square miles and virtually no commercial or private fishing pressure the resident fish population has thrived. The lake
offers terrific angling combined with a lovely place to visit.

Its a magical wilderness of stunning desert scenery, bordered by the clean water of the lake which is dotted with rocky islands. Over 100 species of birds have been recorded with crocodiles, monitor lizards, Dorcas gazelles, golden jackals, desert foxes all finding the perfect habitat. This tour
is a safari in the truest meaning of the term. You are roughing it by camping literally miles away from any civilization. The stars are your ceiling with a step behind the rocks your bathroom. This adventure holiday will not last long. Soon more people will come and this vacation paradise will be corrupted. Enjoy it today!!
