Located about 900 km south from Cairo, right on the northern end of the First Cataract, marking ancient Egypt’s southern frontier. Aswan is a serene destination where the Nile is more majestic than anywhere else, flowing through granite rocks, and round emerald islands covered in palm groves and tropical plants. Colorful Nubian villages run down to the water and stand out against the backdrop of the west bank’s desert escarpment. Aswan is considered as an all-time favorite winter destination. Moreover, you’ll be surprised to see how many monuments and sites this small city has to offer.
