Aswan

Located at the first cataract of the Nile, 600 miles (almost 1000 km) south of Cairo, Aswan is the southernmost city in Egypt and was the frontier of the ancient city.
Thanks to its location in southern Egypt at the First Cataract of the Nile, the city of Aswan has been strategically important throughout the country’s legendary history. Home to the ancient Egyptian frontier, the stone quarries from which the world-famous pyramids were furnished, and markets through which gold, wood and spices were traded, it is undoubtedly a city with many stories to tell.

Philae Temple (Temple of Isis)

Perched on an island in the Nile River, Philae Temple is ancient history that’s been saved stone by stone. A relocation effort moved Philae Temple to Agilkia Island when the UNESCO World Heritage Site was threatened by flooding; today, thanks to the move, visitors can still admire hieroglyphic reliefs abutting soaring columns and sanctuaries dedicated to the ancient gods Horus, Isis, and Hathor.
