It was named Lake Nasser in relation to the late President Jamal Abdel Nasser, after the lake was formed as a result of the confinement of water behind the High Dam, which lasted from 1985 until 1970. Its establishment required the transfer of the Temple of Abu Simble and approximately 18 archaeological sites in Egypt. On the Sudan side, it required the transfer of the river port Wadi Halfa, as well as the city, where it was moved to a high area. Thousands of Nuba residents were also displaced from their villages, which sank under the lake.
At the moment, the lake generates around 26,000 tons a year. It is anticipated that the number of fish hatcheries would rise, along with the construction of fishing ports connected to factories, freezers, and fish manufacturing and packaging facilities, resulting in an annual increase in fish output to 80,000 tons. The indigo tilapia is among the lake's most well-known fish.
In terms of tourism, the Lake Nasser tourism sector contains four centres represented by: Jurf Hussein Centre - North Khor Toshki Centre - North Abu Simbel Centre - South Abu Simbel Centre, occupying an area of 4925 acres, as tourist villages, services and recreational activities, and the composition of the lake attracts birds from remote African regions, such as yellow-billed storks, pink-backed pelicans, African scissorbirds and pink-tailed pigeons, which contributes to attracting tourists to watch these birds.
