Ablauf

  1. One of Nubia's most important monument sites, the Temples of Philae, 12 kilometers south of Aswan, was an ancient pilgrimage center for the cult of Isis and dazzled travelers with its power for centuries. This sacred site was venerated from the Pharaonic era up to the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods with each ruler adding their own stamp onto the stones here. Saved from a watery grave by UNESCO's rescue project, which transferred the monuments block by block from Philae Island to Agilika Island, today, the temples continue to work their charm on all who visit.

About Aswan

Assuan ist Ägyptens ruhige Stadt im Süden am Nil, wo Feluken zwischen Granitinseln, nubischen Dörfern und palmengesäumten Ufern gleiten.

Der Nil ist hier am schönsten, durchbrochen von Granitblöcken und grünen Inseln. Auf der Insel Elephantine liegen Ruinen antiker Tempel und bunte nubische Dörfer, die Kitchener-Insel ist von einem botanischen Garten bedeckt, und am Westufer sind die Gräber der Adligen in die Klippen von Qubbet el-Hawa gehauen, während das kuppelgekrönte Mausoleum des Aga Khan weiter südlich auf einem Wüstenhügel steht.
