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!
