Aswan tours & day trips
Slow, green and Nubian: granite islands, a felucca at sunset, and the base for the giant temples of Abu Simbel.
At Aswan the Nile spreads out and slows down between black granite rocks. From here you reach Abu Simbel, the temples Ramses II carved out of a mountain, and Philae, the island temple of Isis that was moved block by block when the lake rose. The town is Nubian at heart — brightly painted houses across the water, spice stalls along the corniche, and feluccas under the same sail shape they have used for four thousand years. Most Nile cruises start or finish here.
