Aswan

---

Aswan is Egypt 's southern most city and is one of Egypt 's most beautiful cities, sitting along some of the best stretches of the River Nile.

The serenity and beauty of Aswan is unsurpassed, where the graceful sails of the feluccas drift quietly around tiny islets green with foliage and filled with birdsongs.

Major points of interest include: Elephantine Island, the Temple of Philae dedicated to Isis and her son Hours, Granite Quarries where the Unfinished Obelisk was abandoned by ancient stone cutters, the High Dam and the Temple of Kalabsha
