LAKE NASSER, THE DESERT LAKE
|
|
|
|
Lake Nasser is Egypt’s primary long lasting resource of fresh drinking water. Therefore it is well
protected by the authorities and there is no easy access to the shores around
the lake. That makes it a privilege for us to be able to navigate in these
waters. There is no city or other source of pollution on the lake, which
makes it possible to drink straight from the lake if you wish!
