Tour description
Aswan is Egypt’s most beautiful and tranquil city on the banks of the Nile, an ancient southern frontier where the desert meets the river among granite islands and felucca sails gliding across the water. Rich in Nubian identity and cultural colors, it offers a gentle and peaceful charm. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city’s vibrant life and rich heritage.
You will stroll along the Nile riverfront, explore the colorful souk, and admire views of the islands and felucca boats. Throughout the journey, you will hear stories about Nubian culture, the ancient frontier, and the great dam. Peaceful and colorful, Aswan is a wonderful city to discover on foot.
