Aswan

Now my friends we will visit Aswan, which is located at the far south of Egypt, Aswan is actually the sunniest city in Egypt, closely linked and attached to Sudan and its magnificent culture. Aswan holds some of the most prominent pharaonic heritage. Here the Nile is at its most beautiful sites, it flows through amber desert and granite rocks, round emerald islands covered in palm groves and tropical plants. Aswan has been a favorite winter resort since the beginning of the nineteenth century and it's still a perfect place to get away from it all.

Small enough to walk around and graced with the most beautiful setting on the Nile, the pace of life is slow and relaxing.

Days can be spent strolling up and down the broad Corniche watching the sailboats etch the sky with their tall masts, or sitting in floating restaurants listening to Nubian music and eating freshly caught fish.
