Cultural, historical, adventure, and custom customized trips are just a few of the tours that Deluxe trips offer in Egypt and Jordan.
Located in the southernmost part of Egypt, Aswan is not only a historic site—it is a sanctuary of natural wonder, serenity, and cultural integrity. Renowned for its scenic beauty on the Nile River, Aswan's serene atmosphere, golden deserts, and lush islands offer a completely different tempo than the big cities of Cairo or Luxor.
If you want to be surrounded by the serene atmosphere of Upper Egypt, Aswan is where nature, history, and recreation blend perfectly together.
Dramatic is perhaps the best word to describe Aswan's scenery, and the Nile River itself is the most dramatic part of it. Compared to Cairo's frantic pace, the Nile at Aswan glides slowly by, palm fronds, sandy beaches, and very old feluccas plying the water in front of it. Sunset boat rides aren't just beautiful—morally cleansing.
A ride on a felucca during sunset provides a breathtaking sight of the golden skyline over the river, gliding along the ancient ruins, green islets, and humble Nubian houses constructed in a peaceful coexistence with nature.
One of Aswan's true gems, Elephantine Island is situated in the middle of the Nile. This small island has Nubian villages, banana plantations, and archeological sites. Its easy-going atmosphere and its charming surroundings make it one of the most well-liked destinations to sit back, amble, or observe the indigenous Nubian lifestyle.
Walking through its pathways, you’re surrounded by blooming hibiscus, friendly locals, and pastel-colored houses—perfect for an immersive and peaceful experience.
Otherwise known as Kitchener's Island, Aswan Botanical Garden lies to the west of Elephantine Island and is a treasure trove of exotic flora and trees from around the world. It's a peaceful oasis with the chaos of birds chirping and the scent of tropical flowers.
The garden is favored by families and photographers because of its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere.
Embraced by the Nile, Nubian villages offer a vibrant foil to Egypt's ancient temples and monuments. Painted with bright blues, yellows, and reds, the village houses are beautifully decorated with symbolic paintings. Nubians themselves are known for their hospitality, and a visit to a village lets you view Egypt as more natural and unprocessed.
These villages are typically surrounded by stunning desert scenery and green riverbanks—paradise for nature and culture seekers alike.
Beyond the river, the Nubian Desert lies in soft waves of gold, dotted with granite quarries and rock outcrops that have been harnessed since ancient times. The barren landscape of the desert scenery is a rare backdrop for photography and adventure.
The Unfinished Obelisk, still attached to bedrock, is an insight into the ancient Egyptian stonework in natural landscape that has not changed for centuries.
Aswan has been renowned for centuries for its healing properties. Conventional cures make use of the dry desert air, warm sun, and black sand rich in minerals—particularly joint pain and arthritis. Natural sand baths, massage, and mud therapy are offered at some spas and resorts.
For nature enthusiasts seeking to relax, detox, or seek inner peace, the natural environment of Aswan provides a holistic getaway.
The ideal time to visit Aswan is between October and April when the weather is cooler and more pleasant for outdoor excursions. Cruises along the Nile cruises, day trips, and hiking walks can be enjoyed without the sweltering summer sun in these months.
From peaceful Nile waters and green islands to colorful Nubian villages and peaceful desert views, Aswan is nature's masterpiece with more than just pageantry to offer. It's a place where you can breathe, unwind, and experience a softer, gentler side of Egypt.
Whether you are a couple wanting romance, a traveler wanting tranquility, or a photographer seeking light, Aswan's beauty is understated, ageless, and unforgettable.
