Cruise ship with the background of the blue water of Lake Nasser in south Egypt

View of the cruise ship near the temple of Abu Simbel in south Egypt. The temple of Abu Simbel is petty ancient, from the time of the greatest Egyptian pharaoh, Ramesses II. It was built on the banks of the Nile, as a way to showcase the grandeur of the pharaoh. However, with the construction of the High Dam at Aswan and the creation of the reservoir, Lake Nasser, the temple faced being submerged. To save the temple, it was moved to a higher level. Now, it is a famous tourist attraction, with tourists ships coming over the Lake from Aswan to visit it.
