| Page Views: 1,905 Last Visit to Isna: April, 2007 | From Luxor to Aswan via Isna by Kuznetsov_Sergey - last update: Dec 12, 2007 |
| Sunrise over the Nile at Isna |
|  | Isna (or Esna) is a town 55 kilometers South of Luxor and 160 kilometers north of Aswan where stands a lock. Unfortunately it provokes major boat traffic jams.
The thing goes like this: cruise ships have to wait for many hours for their turn in the river lock, so they stop frequently.
As an excursion to Isna is not stipulated by the program of the cruise I have tried to study this city by means of Internet, having been already at home.
Isna is known for the Ptolemic temple of Khnum, the god with the Ram's head. The town's Greek name was Latopolis. |

I am really enjoying your series of pages on the Nile and Egypt, Sergey. Just think, if your boat had gone quickly through the lock, you may not have been able to take those lovely sunrise photos! |
