Here's pictures of the drive over the old dam, looking out over the rocky first cataract, and then through the desert to Abu Simbel. I stayed at the Nubian Culture House there, which was basically a lovely Nubian-style B&B with good food, music, decor, and scenery. We caught the sound and light show at the temples, which I hear is pretty much the only worthwhile one on the Nile Valley trek, and which I did enjoy a lot. I slid into my mosquito-netted bed to catch a few hours sleep before the last day of my vacation...
