Available March through June and October through December.

In Egypt the 1960's 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 the resident fish population has thrived. The lake offers terrific angling combined with a lovely place to visit. It's 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, and desert foxes all finding the perfect habitat.

This tour is a safari in the truest meaning of the term. You are roughing it, 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.
