Tour description
Aswan is the most beautiful and relaxed of Egypt's Nile cities, the ancient southern frontier where the desert meets the river amid granite islands and sailing feluccas. Rich in Nubian culture and colour, it has a gentle, laid-back charm. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its life and heritage.
You will stroll the Nile corniche, wander the colourful souk, and take in views of the islands and feluccas. Along the way you will hear about the Nubian culture, the ancient frontier and the great dam. Serene and colourful, Aswan is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
