Boat Journeys in Sudan
Lake Nasser Border Crossing | |
---|---|
Crossing the border between Egypt and Sudan requires a ferry crossing between Aswan in Egypt and Wadi Halfa in Sudan. The ferry is old, basic with limited comforts and with a very unpredictable schedule but is an authentic and fascinating travel experience, far from the tourist crowds at Egypt's attractions. The ferry passes by some spectacular desert scenery and some amazing historic sites such as the temple at Abu Simbel. |
