2. Visiting a Nubian village is a must when traveling to Egypt. Of all the Aswan attractions, this could be the only trip that will capture your heart in all meanings. The Nubian people are so friendly and overwhelming, great hospitality will be waiting for you in one of the Nubian family houses.

   2 h

3. The Philae Temple was built by the last dynasty of ancient Egypt, the Ptolemaics. It is dedicated to Isis, the goddess of healing, birth, and magic, her husband Osiris, and their son Horus. The temple is one of the last places where ancient Egyptian religion survived after Christianity swept the shores in 550AD

   2 h

4. Walking along the Corniche and watching the sunset over the islands and desert across the Nile is a favorite pastime in Aswan. The view from riverside cafe terraces may be blocked by cruise boats, but plans are underway to relocate them to a dock that is being constructed at the northern end of town; for now, the best place to watch the sunset is from the Old Cataract Hotel terrace or the Sunset restaurant.

About Aswan

Aswan is Egypt's serene southern city on the Nile, where feluccas glide between granite islands, Nubian villages and palm-fringed riverbanks.

The Nile is at its most beautiful here, broken by granite boulders and green islands. Elephantine Island holds ruins of ancient temples and colourful Nubian villages, Kitchener's Island is covered by a botanical garden, and on the west bank the Tombs of the Nobles are cut into the cliffs of Qubbet el-Hawa, while the domed Mausoleum of the Aga Khan stands on a desert hill further south.
