El-Nasr (Nasser’s town) is a large estate near Assuan. The Egyptian government built the estate to house those who lost their homes when the Lake Nasser reservoir was created. A substantial group of the Ababda lives there together with Egyptians (Saidi), and Nubians. Forced to abandon the desert, they live a settled life in this sprawling estate of ugly concrete houses.
