Tour inside the Lake of Nasser south of Egypt behinde the High Dam

The lake of Nasser behind the High Dam is about 6000 square km

What makes it a special tour is that the tourists lives in an isolated world from our modern life
no phones, no streets, no buildings, no polution, no cars, no noise, no people, no shops

You live in prehistory with the sky, water, deserts and the mountains around the lake

We begin our tour in the Lake of Nasser from the High Dam to the temples of Abu Simbel in Three days and stay there one day and get back to Aswan in Three days

By the the temples of Abu Simbel we get the chance to visit the temples overday but also to watch the sound and light show overnight . The Sound and Light show by the temples of Abu Simbels is One of the most attractive shows in the world

In the lake we visit varieous sites which are hidden from the eyes of the world simply because they are not included in the programs of most travel companies all over the world and the world thinks that they were lost under the water during the building of the High Dam in 1964

Inside the lake we have the chance to visit the temple of Kalabshe, the tempel of Bet Al Waly of Ramsis II, the prehistoric stones with the original inscriptions, the temple of Kirtasy nearby the High Dam and of course the High Dam itself. Also we are going to visit Kasr Ibriem island, the temple of Wadi Al Sibou, the temple of Meharaka and only saved tomb in Nubia the tomb of Bin Nout.

The Egyptian oasis

Can the word "oasis" is often used to describe a place where youforget the worries, relax and renew spiritually. Those are the oasesof Egypt: unspoilt refuges from the modern world, civilization nestsamid dramatic desert landscape. Surrounded by sand and sky, the oases offer a sense of timelessness, which in the 20th Century hasbecome rare. Man and nature live together here since the Stone Age, but the stars, rock formations and sand dunes can be personalized with our calendars can not be calculated.

The Egyptian oases are still the most diverse in the world. If you are looking for adventure and excitement, explore themajestic desert by jeep or camel, spend a night under the starsand take a morning dip in the hot springs. Have you created yourpersonal oasis, through the night sky and the silent environment -an inner peace that you can take home

Sex and Love in Ancient Egypt

Although Egypt used to have a god for sex and fertility named Amun Min, we found unusual sex scenes on the walls of the temples

Sex is a divine action between the father of the gods Amun Re and the mother of the king to give her baby the divine birth to be the king of Egypt. Amun Re is depicted as a man with Two high feathers on his head

Amun Min is depicted as a man with the crown of Amun Re with one raised arm and with an erected cock as shown in this foto in the temple of Karnak in Luxor east. Amun Min symbolizes the fertility power of Amun Re

This is to justify the postion of the king as the ruler of North and South of Egypt. In this depiction the king shows his mother and the god Amun Re touching each other with hands and not full intercourse. As a result of this action the queen is shown as a pregnant woman taken by the goddesses to the delivery room

In the delivery room you will see the divine baby being taken care of by goddesses

It is very interesting scene to see the king kneeling under goddess Hathor in the form of the cow and drinking the milk from her breast to show off his divine blood to be the chosen king of Egypt
