About Aswan

Aswan er Egyptens rolige sydlige by ved Nilen, hvor feluccaer glider mellem granitøer, nubiske landsbyer og palmekantede flodbredder.

Nilen er smukkest her, brudt af granitblokke og grønne øer. Elefantøen rummer ruiner af gamle templer og farverige nubiske landsbyer, Kitcheners Ø er dækket af en botanisk have, og på vestbredden er adelsmændenes grave hugget ind i klipperne ved Qubbet el-Hawa, mens Aga Khans kuppelformede mausoleum står på en ørkenbakke længere mod syd.

Top-ranked sights in Aswan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple (Temple of Isis), Aswan High Dam.
