Aswan is a beautiful city in Southern Egypt.
A whole lot smaller, quieter and prettier than Cairo and Luxor, it is a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Nile.
We unfortunately only had 1 day and 1 night here, but thoroughly enjoyed our stay, along with the hospitality of the Nubian people.

Hi, interesting to see yr travels around egypt. im still yet to get there!
I only saw Abu Simbel from far away swimming past on the ferry from Sudan.
What a marvelous page on Aswan. I like your Nubian pictures. How about some more photos of Abu Simbel.
While building my Egypt pages, I went to yours, and I think they are magnificent! Thanks!
The picture of the Whirling Dervish is wonderful! Unfortunately I had only one afternoon in Aswan but I hope to go back and stay more.
So many nice photos! I'm really looking forward to my trip to Aswan. Great tips Sue!
I intend to go back to this beautiful historical river ! Thx for sharing
Your T/loge photo of the Whirling Dervish is brilliant! You should put that in a competition Sue! Gorgeous page, brought back so a many memories, I want to return right now! lol. (~_~)
