Aswan, Egypt's sunniest southern city and ancient frontier town, has a distinctively African atmosphere. Small enough to walk around and graced with the most beautiful setting on the Nile, the pace of life is slow and relaxing. Days can be spent strolling up and down the broad Corniche watching the sailboats etch the sky with their tall masts or exploring the souk, full of the scent and colour of spices, perfumes, scarves and baskets.

Abercrombie & Kent's Aswan holidays and Aswan tours are the perfect way to explore this ancient town.
