the Great Temple of Ramses, and the crocodiles of the Nile. You should also try to see a Whirling Dirvish performance if you have the opportunity and will want to enjoy some Nubian cuisine. The unfinished Obelisk is another great sight to take in during your holidays in Aswan. Diving holidays can be arranged nearby during your cheap holidays to Egypt.

There are so many great things to do in and around Aswan  that you may have a bit of difficulty deciding which thing to do first. You may want to look elsewhere in Egypt though if beach holidays are a priority. There are many other things to do and enjoy during your holiday in Aswan to keep you occupied though without a beach. You will still get plenty of sun and it is a good idea to bring along plenty of sunscreen. You should plan a visit to Kitchner's Island, which is an island in the Nile that is home to scores of African plants. You will need to hire a felucca to get there though. Other islands you might wish to explore are Elephantine Island and Philae Island, which each offer their own unique story.
