Things to Do in Aswan
Elephantine Island
1
Take a private tour by Felucca to Elephantine Island and see one both the major highlights of Aswan. This island is the biggest in the group of islands of Aswan and has many ancient archaeology sites to be explored. Take a tour of the picturesque Nubian villages and the colourful mud brick buildings. Meet the very friendly locals, happy to welcome you. The oldest ruins still standing area granite step pyramid from the third dynasty.
Philae Temple
2
On a guided tour of Philae Temple, you will be impressed with this beguiling monument and fabulous symmetry of its architecture. This Temple is also known as the sacred Temple of Isis and was saved from Lake Nasser’s rising waters by UNESCO. Their rescue project team moved the Temple in its entirety from its original home on Philae Island to safer grounds on Agilika Island. The stunning artistry on the exterior stonework is amazing.
Unfinished Obelisk
3
On a sightseeing tour of ruins in Aswan, visit the Unfinished Obelisk in the Northern Quarry. It is the biggest known ancient obelisk and had it been completed; it would have been the heaviest obelisk cut in ancient Egypt. It is thought that it was abandoned when cracks appeared in the rock during the construction during the times reigned by Queen Hatshepsut, in the 18th dynasty. It is another fascinating tale of ancient times.
Nubian Museum
4
When you take a guided tour of the Nubian Museum, you learn about wonderful and interesting history and culture of ancient and modern Nubia. It also documents the wealth of culture washed away with the creation of Lake Nasser and the building of Aswan Dam. See the impressive collection of artefacts from Ancient Nubia’s Kingdom of Kush and the collection of photographs of the huge range of monuments lost under the lakes waters.
Kom Ombo Temple
5
On the outskirts of Aswan and well worth a visit by guided tour, is Kom Ombo Temple. It is dramatically set on the bank of the Nile and is a magnificent sight, especially if you arrive from the river. The stunning intricate detailed carvings in the stonework is so impressive and you can only imagine the long hours and dedication to took to do. As you stroll through the temple's inner chambers, you are greeted to more stone carvings.
Sehel Island
6
For a day of peace and tranquillity take a private tour by boat to Sehel Island, 4 kilometres from Aswan on the Nile. There is a nostalgic feeling on this island and it has a way of reminding you that there was a time when technology was not everywhere and we survived. There are scenic views to enjoy but also take the short trek to see the rock inscriptions that are dedicated to the goddess Anukis and her consort Khnum.
Monastery of St. Simeon
7
Visit the Monastery of St. Simeon on a sightseeing tour and you will see a gloriously photogenic building sitting between sand dunes on the West Bank of the Nile. It is believed to be the largest and best preserved Coptic monasteries in Egypt that was founded the 7th century and abandoned in the 13th century due to lack of water. See the courtyard, an aisled Basilica and the wide nave that was once covered by domes.
Tombs of Nobles
8
Take a guided tour to the Tombs of Nobles, a series of rock tombs that were chiselled out of the West Bank’s cliffs. During the Old Kingdoms and Middle Kingdoms, it was here that Elephantine Islands governors, priests and other grandees were buried. These can be accessed by a series of steep staircases where you see where the 6th dynasty governors were buried in Tombs 25 & 26 and the artistry in both is simple and roughly worked.
Old Cataract Hotel
9
When on a private tour by boat, stop at the Old Cataract Hotel. With its ornate facade and fabulous gardens, this hotel is a major landmark on the river bank. For the film buffs visiting here, they will probably recognise the hotel from the Agatha Christie movie ‘Death on the Nile’ which was filmed here. It also happens to be the place where Agatha Christie wrote the novel when staying here. Enjoy views, tea and scones from the terrace.
Sharia al-Souq
10
The downtown Aswan district, Sharia al-Souq is a fantastic place to spend a few hours. It is here you are in a paradise for souvenir collectors. There are also stars that are brimming with spices and perfumes, long traditional robes called galebeyas, colourful scarves, varied silverware and basketry. Very popular is the Nubian jewellery and needlework. The amazing atmosphere as you walk around this district is something else.
