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.
