Aswan
& Lake Nasser 'Here
the Nile is particularly majestic; sunset is a sight to behold when the river
appears like molten larva flowing gently around Kitchener's Island' Aswan
is the town visitors to Egypt remember most and rarely does anyone fail to enjoy
its subtle delights. Although lacking much of the ancient splendor to be seen
elsewhere, many of Aswan's monuments have been saved from the rising waters of
the High Dam, itself a testament to modern man. Take a felucca ride and enjoy
the nearby islands, in particular Kitchener Island, from where Lord Kitchener
planned the Sudan campaign and later created a fine botanical garden with many
rare species of plants and shrubs. Afterwards, head for the terrace bar at the
Old Cataract and enjoy a slow gin and tonic whilst the sun slips down behind the
far horizon and a refreshing breeze wafts the evening air. Temple
of Isis, Philae - built during the Ptolemaic period, this romantic temple is
situated on an island between the Old and New Aswan dams and is reached by a
short motor boat ride. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, a great part of the temple
still remains and contains many interesting reliefs. |
