How to visit Aswan

Aswan is the calmest and most beautiful stretch of the Nile, with Elephantine Island, white feluccas and Nubian villages on the west bank. Philae Temple is reached by boat, and the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk are close to town. Abu Simbel, built by Ramesses II, lies about three hours south by road; the temples were cut and moved in the 20th century to save them from the lake, and the trip usually leaves before dawn and returns the same day. North of Aswan, the temples of Horus at Edfu and of Kom Ombo are usually visited on a Nile cruise.

Tips for Aswan

Abu Simbel trips leave very early: sleep early and take a breakfast box.
Ask before photographing people in Nubian villages.
An overnight felucca is basic and suits travellers who enjoy the experience.
Summer is extremely hot and winter is peak season: book hotels and cruises early.
