About Assouan

Assouan, paisible ville du sud égyptien sur le Nil : felouques entre îles de granit, villages nubiens et rives bordées de palmiers.

Le Nil est ici à son plus beau, entrecoupé de blocs de granit et d'îles vertes. L'île Éléphantine abrite des ruines de temples antiques et des villages nubiens colorés, l'île Kitchener est couverte par un jardin botanique, et sur la rive ouest les tombeaux des Nobles sont creusés dans les falaises de Qubbet el-Hawa, tandis que le mausolée à dôme de l'Aga Khan se dresse sur une colline du désert plus au sud.
