About Aswan

Aswan är Egyptens lugna södra stad vid Nilen, där feluckor glider mellan granitöar, nubiska byar och palmkantade flodstränder.

Nilen är som vackrast här, bruten av granitblock och gröna öar. Elefantön rymmer ruiner av antika tempel och färgglada nubiska byar, Kitcheners ö täcks av en botanisk trädgård, och på västra stranden är adelsmännens gravar huggna i klipporna vid Qubbet el-Hawa, medan Aga Khans kupolförsedda mausoleum står på en ökenkulle längre söderut.
