Attractions

Aswan's history as the southernmost city in the Egyptian Empire makes it a perfect location for historical sightseeing.

Hints and tips

When you fly to Aswan, you'll land at Aswan International Airport (ASW). The best option to get to your destination will be taxi, as public transit doesn't service ASW. Once you're settled in, the city can largely be navigated by foot, but taxis can help you get to more far away landmarks and destinations. Expect a subtropical desert climate with summer highs peaking in the low 100s and winter lows dipping into the lower 50s. Visit during the first two weeks of August when the city celebrates the annual flooding of the Nile, an event of historical and spiritual importance in Egypt.
