Highlights
Aswan was known as “Suno” in the ages of the ancient Egyptians, meaning the market, as it was a commercial center for caravans coming to and from Nubia.Then, in the Ptolemaic period, it was called “Sin” and the Nubians called it “Yuba Swan”.It was also known as the Land of Gold because it was a great treasure or a cemetery for the Nubian kings who lived in it for thousands of years. The borders of Aswan extended before the migration from Asna to the east, to the borders of Sudan to the south, and its inhabitants were Nubians, but after the Islamic conquest of the Nuba countries, some Arab tribes inhabited them

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.
