Aswan

The serene gateway to ancient Nubia, where the Nile flows at its most beautiful. Aswan enchants visitors with its golden sand dunes, felucca-dotted waters, and timeless temples. Visit the magnificent Philae Temple dedicated to Isis, sail to the botanical gardens on Kitchener's Island, and witness the engineering marvel of the Aswan High Dam.

About Aswan

Aswan is the gentlest of Egypt's major destinations, a river town where the Nile widens around granite islands and the pace drops noticeably. It is the base for Abu Simbel, the jumping-off point for Nubian villages, and home to the Philae temple complex, which was moved stone by stone to higher ground when the High Dam raised the water.
