About Aswan

Aswan er Egypts rolige sørlige by ved Nilen, der feluccaer glir mellom granittøyer, nubiske landsbyer og palmekantede elvebredder.

Nilen er vakrest her, brutt av granittblokker og grønne øyer. Elefantøya rommer ruiner av gamle templer og fargerike nubiske landsbyer, Kitcheners Øy er dekket av en botanisk hage, og på vestbredden er adelsmenns graver hogd inn i klippene ved Qubbet el-Hawa, mens Aga Khans kuppelformede mausoleum står på en ørkenhøyde lenger sør.
