About Assuan

Assuan è la serena città meridionale dell'Egitto sul Nilo, dove le feluche scivolano tra isole di granito, villaggi nubiani e rive di palme.

Il Nilo è qui al suo massimo splendore, interrotto da massi di granito e isole verdi. L'isola Elefantina custodisce rovine di templi antichi e colorati villaggi nubiani, l'isola Kitchener è coperta da un giardino botanico, e sulla riva occidentale le Tombe dei Nobili sono scavate nelle scogliere di Qubbet el-Hawa, mentre il mausoleo a cupola dell'Aga Khan sorge su una collina del deserto più a sud.

Top-ranked sights in Assuan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple (Temple of Isis), Aswan High Dam.
