Aswan is the smallest of the three major tourist cities on the Nile. Being the furthest south of the three, it has a large population of Nubian people, mostly resettled from their homeland in the area flooded by Lake Nasser. Aswan is the home of many granite quarries from which most of the Obelisks seen in [wiki=3f4522685c2e61b2ba00ad392749de43]Luxor[/wiki] were sourced. Aswan was the ancient Egyptians' gateway to [wiki=f5cd262901883dff68d06b215fb0f28e]Africa[/wiki].

By plane
Aswan International Airport is situated 25km SSW of the city, on the west bank and just south of the high dam. Public buses don't go to the airport and security on the approach road to the terminal is tight, so it's probably worth taking a taxi, for which you must agree a price in advance. It is possible to argue the fare down to LE25, but LE30 to LE40 is more realistic (and easier) for most foreigners.
The following airlines operate services to Aswan International Airport: EgyptAir [url=http://www.egyptair.com/English/Pages/splashpage.aspx]](to/from [[Abu Simbel[/url]], [wiki=b181c43993de481ea462a2bfe11f0a1b]Cairo[/wiki], [wiki=3f4522685c2e61b2ba00ad392749de43]Luxor[/wiki]) and LotusAir (to/from [wiki=b181c43993de481ea462a2bfe11f0a1b]Cairo[/wiki]).

The train station is on the northern end of the city centre, a few hundred metres inland from the river. Leave plenty of time to buy tickets, as the service at the counters is slow. Mini buses depart from outside the station (turn right as you exit the terminal), and there are a number of cafes and basic hotels on the blocks between the station and the river.

By bus
From [wiki=b181c43993de481ea462a2bfe11f0a1b]Cairo[/wiki]
There's many trains move to Aswan go to Cairo main railway stain and find your ticket take in consider book in advanced 2 or 3 day before because it's not easy to find ticket in the same day.
Buses from Cairo main bus station Al-torjoman 05:00 PM ticket cost 90LE + 10LE if they discover you are foreigner "not recommended" because the roads are really not safe and the bus arrives to Aswan the next day 09:30 AM if the driver is fast! "24 April 2013" Several lines go to Aswan from the bus station near the railway station, behind the tracks.
November 2015 :Cairo to Aswan bus departs at 5pm Gateway Plaza bus station, price is130LE. Tickets can be purchased at the Gateway Plazza bus station. 13 1/2 hours. no road blocks, no police checks. 130LE is printed on the ticket. arrives at main bus station... 3km north of train station... dusty walk
From [wiki=30eba7decf2a5e1d0f3857d71e9113fe]Hurghada[/wiki]
(513km away)(8Hour++) there's no direct bus move to Aswan from Hurghada but there's bus come from Suez at 10:30 evening and 12:30 midnight come from Cairo and both stop in Hurghada to drop off some people (upper Egypt company), the bus is often come crowded and it's really hard to occupy a set buses cost 50LE. Tickets are sold on the bus, but be sure to ask the price at the ticket office, because the ticket seller on the bus will often raise the price 10LE or so and pocket the excess if you are a foreigner, take in consider that you maybe wait 2 hours or more before the bus arrive.
The best way to go to Aswan from Hurghada is to take the 8:30AM bus to Luxor for 50LE, which takes 4 hours. The company name is Superjet beside Zahran store at Al-nasr st. From Luxor, take a train to Aswan (3 Hours) for 30LE.

By boat
Dozens of cruise ships travel between [wiki=3f4522685c2e61b2ba00ad392749de43]Luxor[/wiki] and Aswan. Aswan-Luxor takes 3 nights while Luxor-Aswan takes 4 nights. As of Mar 2014, boats depart from Aswan 3 days per week. These can be booked through agents or at the actual ships themselves.
Also a boat to Wadi Halfa in Sudan departs once a week on Sundays (Feb 2014). Tickets go on sale on Monday for the following sunday and sell out quickly.
Alternatively instead of waiting in Aswan for a week, a fixer can be used to arrange a Sudan visa in 15 minutes, a spot on the boat (Even on the actual day of sailing) and help getting through the terminal. Price would be between 50-100 EP for the service.
-
Aswan is compact enough to negotiate primarily on foot. To access Philae, the High Dam, and the unfinished obelisks, you can take a taxi or a horse-drawn carriage. A taxi excursion to all of these sights should cost 80LE to 100LE per vehicle.
To access the sights on the river islands or on the West Bank, you will need to cross the river by motor boat or felluca. Be sure to pay attention to the price as operators try to overcharge tourists.
If you take the public ferry to the West Bank, you pay only 5LE.

Aswan Town and the East Bank
Very well organized, features Nubian treasures recovered before the flooding of Nubia. [Egypt is constantly pegging their tourist attractions prices according to the rate of Euro or Dollar, therefore the entrance fee has recently been raised to 60 and 30 LE respectively. For an 8 Euros ticket, which ain't cheap, the museum is staffed by 'guards' who are chatting or listening to music inside the museum. There is not a single guide and nobody to answer you anything. Instead of, they try to put you out at 20:30 even if the museum closes at 21:00. Not a pleasant experience. (April 2015)]
* The largest known ancient obelisk, carved directly out of bedrock. If finished it would have measured around 42m (120 feet) and would have weighed nearly 1,200 tons.
* The faded former glory of the Fatimid empire can be seen on the crumbling graveyard. Across the street from unfinished Obelisk, and across the street from Nubian Museum on the other side. There may be some aggressive children on the cemetery.
* When you're in Aswan you'll have to walk along the Kornish Al Nile (Corniche) at least once. It is a pleasant stroll, made even more pleasant by the fact that you can walk right into the Ferial Gardens at its Southern End. They are a park that is as relaxing as it is beautiful.

The River and Islands
Nubian villages of Siou and Koti occupy this island. Also home to the famous [wiki=ed7e6ea124bb1a345f2f57e42d3f6f2c]Nilometer[/wiki]s and the Temples of Sati, Khnum (ancient rams-head god) and Pepinakht-Heqaib. Movenpick resort is on the island. The Aswan Museum (Adult: 25LE, Student 15LE) at the southern end of the island houses items found during excavations on Elephantine Island.
Also, be careful of unsolicited tours from locals, which will result in a request for baksheesh. There is regular boat taxi to Elephantine Island run by the locals for only 2LE for one crossing but they will charge more for tourists. Put the money in the box instead of the ticket agent to avoid overpaying.
* Lord Kitchener, who owned the 6.8 hectare island in the 1890's converted it to a botanical garden. Filled with birds and hundreds of plant species and palm trees. Accessible via a Felucca tour.The entrance fee is
* Friendly Nubian villages. Well known for its excellent beaded jewelry. Also the location of the Famine Stela. Cliff with more than 200 inscriptions from the 18th dynasty,
-
West Bank
The northern hills of the west bank are filled with the rock-hewn tombs of princes from the Old Kingdom to the Roman period. The 6th Dynasty tombs, some of which form linked family complexes, contain important biographical texts. Inside, the tombs are decorated with vivid wall paintings showing scenes of everyday life, hieroglyphic biographies and inscriptions telling of the noblemen's journeys into Africa. Most of the tombs are locked or blocked off, probably by staff looking for tips.
**Note that some locals will hang around the entrance as you climb the hill, and tell you that it's closed and you need a key. They will show you a key, implying that they can help you gain access...for a small fee. Just tell them, "no thanks....just looking", and they should leave you alone.
**Tombs of Mekhu & Sabni - Reliefs show invasion of Nubia
**Tomb of Sarenput II - One of the most beautiful and preserved tombs
**Tomb of Harkhuf - Hieroglyphics
**Tomb of Hekaib - Reliefs show fighting and hunting scenes
**Tomb of Sarenput II - Six pillars decorated with reliefs
**Kubbet al Hawa - Located on the hilltop above the other tombs. Stunning views of the Nile
* Small shrine / tomb of a local sheikh and holy man. The climb is rewarded with amazing views of Aswan, the Nile river and the surrounding landscape, richly evoked in the translation from the Arabic of the place name, "the dome of the wind'.
* Tomb of the 48th iman of the Ismaili sect and his wife. Visible from the outside, although closed to the public.
* The history of the monastery of St. Simeon dates back to the 7th century, and survived long as a Christian stronghold of southern Egypt until destroyed by Saladin in 1173. While still in use it housed 300 monks, and could in addition receive up to 100 pilgrims at a time. The monastery was surrounded by a 10 metre high wall, and doubled as a fortress. Apparently, the monastery did not return to its original use after Saladin's destruction. To get here, ride a camel or walk from the Tombs of the Nobles.

Around Aswan
Despite being a highly important piece of infrastructure, the Aswan High Dam is (to put it delicately) a bit of a letdown even for dam lovers. This is a typical stop among a 4-hr tour that goes to Philae and the Obelisk, which you can ask for your driver to skip.
* Built to honor Isis, this was the last ancient temple built in the the classical Egyptian architectural style. Construction began in approx 690 BC. It was moved from its original location on Philae Island, to its new location on Agilkia Island, after the flooding of Lake Nasser. A major multinational UNESCO team relocated Philae, and a number of other temples that now dot the shores of Lake Nasser. You can see the submerged original island a short distance away, punctuated by the steel columns used in the moving process. Don't miss the Sound and Light show at night, see picture to the right, the least cheesy of the Sound and Light "extravaganzas". On your feet, look out for the extremely creative guards who will do all in their power to get in your photos, or to point out the hieroglpyhs that you can quite clearly see yourself, all for some baksheesh(tip)! Note also the re-use of the temple as a Christian church, with crosses carved into the older hieroglyph reliefs, and images of the Egyptian gods carefully defaced. There are grafitti dating from the 1800s. Entrance fee 50LE. Driver from town 40LE to 50LE with wait and return. 5LE for parking the car. Locals are charged 10LE for the boat ride to the island, but the boatmen will attempt to charge you 50LE per person. A reasonable price should be 40-50LE per person, with wait and return included. The ticket booth is located at the entrance to the pier, which means you will have to buy your non-refundable ticket for the temple and have it torn by the ticket attendant before you can even begin haggling over the price of the boat ride. It may help to wait for other travellers to show up so you can split the boat fee. Bargain hard. The temple is beautiful and very much worth seeing.
* Like Philae, this temple and its surrounding ruins were moved by UNESCO to save them from the floodwaters of Lake Nasser. The main temple was built to the Nubian fertility and sun god Marul during the rule of Emperor Augustus. Don't miss the Kiosk of Qirtasi and the amazing Temple of Beit al-Wali built by Ramesses II.
* Most people use Aswan as a base to see this fantastic temple. There is a convoy that departs at 4AM, and is usually arranged by your tour agent. See [wiki=952b43b1c7a1e0babfe8955777d10d5d]Abu Simbel[/wiki] article for more detail. Most hotels will arrange group transport for 60 to 70 LE per person
* Sculptors from around the world exhibit their pieces here every spring for the International Sculpture Symposium. The works are all created in Aswan (on the terrace of the Basma Hotel) and when finished brought to this site and exhibited next to each other within view of the ancient quarry.
-
Bikes available at many hotels. Cross the modern bridge to the east bank and bring back your bicycle afterwards by ferry boat.
* Aswan is a great place for a local cruise to the nearby islands. Two hours of felucca trip will cost you between 25-50 EP depends on your negotiation skills.
See [wiki=bc3d6a6447acd5f0eaffa648fa023372]felucca cruise on the Nile[/wiki].
* See [wiki=952b43b1c7a1e0babfe8955777d10d5d]Abu Simbel[/wiki]. This is a must!
* Grab a felucca captain and they will shuttle you across to the camel marshalling area. Ride the camel to the Monastery of St Simeon.
* You will get a fascinating insight into their daily lives, and they love to practise their English on you.
* As recommended by the Lonely Planet guidebook, Mohamed and Fatma Sobhi offer a fascinating tour of the old city's plants, birds, rocks, wild animals and sand dunes. Animalia's tour guides are fluent in English, Arabic, Spanish and French.
*Hire a felucca or a motor boat and ask them to take you to the Nubian Village to see the Crocodiles. Yes, local Nubians keep large and small Crocodiles in their homes. You can hold them, get a free drink and enjoy time with local Nubians.

The souqs (markets) in Aswan are refreshingly exotic without the same level of high-pressure selling found in some tourist towns further north.
You will generally find that Nubian handicrafts are of higher quality and better value in Aswan. All other goods will be more expensive than in [wiki=b181c43993de481ea462a2bfe11f0a1b]Cairo[/wiki] due to shipping costs to Aswan and the lower tourist demand. Having said that, the Aswan souk still has a lot of unscrupulous sellers trying to con their way into selling you low quality goods at high price. Try your best to compare the prices before buying and don't be hesitant to haggle.
* The most charming souq in Egypt, There is far less pressure to buy than in other cities. Buy Nubian talisman, baskets, Sudanese swords, African masks, live produce, food, fruit, vegetables, henna powder, t-shirts, perfume, spices, robes, statues.
-
Popular with locals. Great kafta and kebabs, pigeon, and chicken, all served with bread, salad and tahini
* Decent food with cheery service. The local fish joints near the city market can be excellent -- their fish is fresh, and you can watch it cook. Don't miss the crab soup!
* Serves fiteer, a flaky Egyptian pizza, as well as western varieties.
* Fresh fish restaurant, priced by weight. Small place but worth the wait. Overhyped, pricey compare to Egyptian standard
* Popular amound Nubian felucca captains. Beer available.
* Small place.
* Spectacular sunset views over the first cataract. Sheesha and tea.
* Serves simple Egyptian stews served in clay pots, with salad, mezze, rice. All day breakfast
*Fresh ingredients, stellar service, and the best sunset view. Great place to take a swim in the nile as well.
*Two reasons to have a meal here: fantastic view of the Nile River and air-condition.
-
Aswan is much less strict on drinking alcohol than [wiki=b181c43993de481ea462a2bfe11f0a1b]Cairo[/wiki] or [wiki=3f4522685c2e61b2ba00ad392749de43]Luxor[/wiki], and many of the restaurants sell Stella (Egyptian brand not the Belgian brand) and Saqqara, both of which are lagers and comparable to European beers.
-
In Aswan, as else in Egypt, decent and reasonably priced options are scarce. Most often, there is either a choice between dirt-cheap (although not that 'dirt-cheap' anymore) but severely run-down hotels and those charging European prices for a level of service of a very bad 3 star hotel. A recent review of all of them makes the Queen Hotel (about 200m right from the railway station, behind a car-washing facility, prices from 70 EGP) and the already mentionned Noorhan hotel which is in the first alley on your left once you enter the souq the most recommendable budget options for a traveler. Prices at Northaan start from 50 EGP (FREE Wi-Fi), you might want to take the rooms with bathroom included, those are significantly cleaner. Altough with a smelly reception, the rooms are clean by Egyptian standards, linen freshly washed, the location is the most central and there isn't any pressure to book you on tours with them. The guys are laid-back and the experience is seamless. You can pay on check-out. It is the same owner as the Queen Hotel. Memnon Hotel has since doubled prices and those are 90 EGP for singles, 80 after hard bargaining though views of the Nile are nice. (April 2015)

On an island in Aswan’s archipelago, natural setting, panoramic view of the Nile and the hills of Aswan. The island is located ten minutes by motorboat from the main land, close to the Mausoleum of Agha Khan and the Monastery of St. Simeon.

Aswan is generally a very safe city. However, do watch out for quite blatant attempts at pickpocketing in the souq. These thieves will approach you carrying scarves, shirts or even papyrus in one hand to sell to you, while attempting to go into your pockets with the other hand. The locals know this goes on, but do not count on them to intervene. Also, women should avoid travelling alone if they are not comfortable with leering men, although they are all bluster. Most horse carriage drivers will not commit on the price when you arrive at your destination and you're expect to give more.
Once you escape the tourist-heavy places (i.e. the corniche), you'll find that many of the locals are very friendly and funny as is Egyptian culture. If you go into a shop to buy some snacks/water and the owner does not have change, it is not at all uncommon to see him run out and look for change while leaving you alone in the shop. Egyptians are by nature very friendly and honest people, with an unfortunate population corrupted by the need to scam and steal from tourists.
-
Internet access is available at Keylany Hotel and Noorhan Hotel for 10LE per hour; but internet speeds are very slow. Kothor Hotel has more easonably fast internet available for 5LE per hour or 10LE unlimited for your stay.
-
There is so much to do around the Aswan area that time can be an issue. The local people are generally very cooperative, and for a price, doors might remain opened regardless of the hour.
November 2015 too many offers of Nubia banana from the boys with Felucas....sad bast****.....
