Aswan must be one of the most beautiful places to see in Egypt.

You should know what a trip to the Temple of Abu Simbel, while this in Aswan. Before the Aswan dam could be built this magnificent temple had to be relocated, is now a six-hour round trip by bus from Aswan. The road is rough and dangerous threats both natural and human. It is supposed to be a wonderful temple to visit, but the trip is not worth the effort. If you have been visiting other temples on the way to Aswan then avoid this.

No stop in Aswan would be complete without a visit to a Nubian village. This tour may be the most rewarding experience of your adventure. You can spend the night with a Nubian family at home to tea and dinner with them. The Nubians live very modestly in a medieval style, but comfortable and seem very happy with their lives. Nubia guides are happy to talk about the history of Nubia, but it's hard to know what they are saying that his English may often be limited. If you are carried away by the atmosphere Arabian Nights henna tattoos are available. They say it will disappear in several weeks. And finally, villagers are more than happy to sell their arts and crafts. A wonderful experience! Of course, be careful with food and drink, and you can leave with a gift that keeps on giving.
On the other side of the Nile from Aswan city you can ride a camel through the desert to the monastery of San Simeon. This is one of the oldest Christian monasteries known and reflects a time when Christianity was a religion influence in Egypt.

The Temple of Philae on the island of Aglika also worth a visit. The temple was moved from its original island after construction of Aswan Dam, which was a mammoth task as the temple is enormous.
