Aswan Travel Guide - All About Aswan, Egypt

A camel safari through the desert around Aswan

The end of the line for many Nile cruises, Aswan is a peaceful city set among the rocky banks of the river amid floating feluccas and luxurious hotels.

The terrace of the Old Cataract Hotel - where Agatha Christie conjured up the twisted plot of Death On The Nile - is a great place to soak up the atmosphere while enjoying High Tea.

Much of the granite found in Egypt's ancient monuments were shipped along the river from Aswan and the massive quarries are a popular attraction.

A felucca trip along the Nile is a great way to explore the surrounding area.
