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