Aswan overview

This bustling market city in South Egypt is situated in one of the driest spots on earth. Set on the east bank of the Nile, Aswan is a popular place to start cruises. One of Egypt’s most ancient sites is Elephantine Island. Take a traditional wooden felucca around the island or disembark and explore the ruins of the Temple of Khnum. In addition to rich history and stunning scenery, Aswan offers opportunites to experience true African culture in the surrounding Nubian villages.
