Aswan

Standing on the most enthralling part of the River Nile, Aswan orchestrates a serene symphony for visitors in search of sheer relaxation. Peaceful mud brick villages, ornamenting a verdant strip, watch over the Nile’s blue waters, calmly flowing to embrace the golden desert in an exceptional statement of nature’s contrasts coming together in perfect harmony. Such a beautiful sight forms Aswan’s renown, tranquil islands sheltered by swaying Palm trees to explain why Egypt’s southern most City has been attracting worldwide novelists, and tourists who want to get away from it all. Home to a large Nubian community, adds to the city a matchless African flavor not so intensely felt anywhere in Egypt, as dining on the Nile while enjoying breathtaking sunsets is always complimented by a vibrantly, colorful Nubian show. Aswan “ the relaxed, laid back city” is the perfect definition of a “ Holiday”, so whether you are a traveler in search of relaxation or inspiration, Aswan is the right place to be.
