Aswan, is the best winter in Egypt, the most
enchanting in the world and the least expensive; beautiful
scenery, peace and quiet temperate weather, warm and dry
as well as an invigorating and healing sun. Situated on
the eastern bank of the Nile, 900 km south of Cairo.
Aswan links Egypt with Sudan, it is the gate to the
African continent, and is such an important commercial
center. What gives Aswan a special importance is that the
great past and the glorious present exist on its soil,
while its High Dam augurs a floating and prosperous
future.
