Discovering Aswan: Experience Egypt’s Tranquil Shifts
Compared to Egypt’s other cities, life unfurls at a slower pace in Aswan. The country’s most southern city offers a chance to catch your breath after the nerve-fraying, car-horn-tooting bedlam of Cairo. Often mistaken as a stop-gap destination – a place to breeze through between an Abu Simbel day trip and embarking on a journey down the Nile – low-key Aswan is instead a place to sit back and savor.
