About ASWAN

Aswan is one of the most attractive towns on the Nile. Close to it are quarries from which the Pharaoh's obtained the granite to build the obelisks and the monuments of ancient Thebes. The classic Temple of Philae and the Abu Simbel Temple are close by. Southwards, approx. 30 minutes by air from Aswan, are the temples of Abu Simbel built between 1300-1233 BC by Ramses II. Four massive statues of the seated Pharaoh mark the entrance to one of the temples. The sun-drenched town of Aswan is rich with history and atmosphere.
