Wawat

Geography

Between the First and Second Cataracts, fertile land was found only in discontinuous patches. The most fertile regions of Wawat were the Plain of Dakka at the mouth of the Wadi el-Allaqi, the Derr-Toshka region to the north of Abu Simbel, and a third region to the south. In other areas, sand and rock terrain can reach all the way to the Nile's banks.
