Aswan

The city of Aswan is located in a picturesque place on the Nile River in Egypt. In ancient times, it marked the border with Nubia. And now, a significant part of its population are Nubians. Aswan is a beautiful winter resort. At this time of year, day temperature here is about + 25 °С, and the abundance of sights will not let you get bored. You can hire a felucca with a crew — a small vessel with a triangular sail — and go on a trip to see them. On the way, tourists will see Elephantine Island and the ancient temples on it, the Botanical Garden, and the tombs of the nobility. And you get to the ruins of Monastery of Saint Simeon by camel, and from there, you head to the Nubian village in the desert. A visit to the Nubian Museum and a stroll along the Corniche Waterfront will be no less impressive. Make sure you plan a trip to the Aswan Dam, which is outside the city. This huge structure is considered one of the largest artificial lakes in the world.
