As your travel agent, I recommend enriching your journey to Aswan with some insightful reading. For guides, consider the “Lonely Planet Egypt” or “DK Eyewitness Egypt” for practical tips and cultural highlights. If you love history and stories, “Temples, Tombs, and Hieroglyphs” by Barbara Mertz offers a fascinating look at ancient Egypt. You might also enjoy “Aswan: The Jewel of the Nile” by Jill Kamil, which focuses specifically on the region you’ll be visiting. These resources will help you make the most of your Egyptian adventure!

About the destination

Aswan is a city in the south of Egypt, some 680km south of Cairo, just below the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, with a population of 275,000. Aswan is far more relaxed and smaller than Cairo and Luxor. Aswan is the smallest of the three major tourist cities on the Nile. Aswan is calming and relaxing and has a laid-back feel to it. Aswan has some unique gems. Rock cut monument Abu Simbel, to the south is one of Egypt's most daring symbols of Egyptian power. The sanctuary temples of Philae and Kalabsha present excursions reminiscent of Greece. Other places worth visiting in Aswan include: The dual temples of sobek and horus at Kwam Umbu, and the well preserved temple of horus at Idfu. Aswan is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Nile.
