When planning a holiday to Egypt many tourists head to the bustling beach resort of Sharm El Sheikh or towards the ancient sights located in Cairo or Luxor; but if you are looking for a holiday where you can truly relax and unwind and still have access to the incredible sights – holidays to Aswan are the perfect choice.
Aswan is located in the south of Egypt and is situated on the east banks of the Nile. The city of Aswan offers holidaymakers a welcoming environment where they can enjoy a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of Sharm El Sheikh and Cairo. Aswan is most well known for its proximity to the Nubian Desert and Sudan and for its relaxed pace of life with spectacular mountain views. During the day there is plenty to keep you occupied from visiting the ancient tombs of the nobles to taking a cruise along the nile; whatever you decide to do you can be assured that the weather will be warm and sunny as Aswan is one of the driest inhabited places in the world. For many holidaymakers a Egypt holiday would not be complete without visiting some of the ancient wonders; Aswan is only a short flight from Cairo and Luxor so you can easily spend the day wandering around the Pyramids or gazing at the Valley of the Kings.
If you are looking for that perfect holiday destination, whatever time of year, Aswan has it all; from exploring the beautiful Aswan botanical gardens to watching the sunset on a Nile cruise. By spending your next holiday to Egypt in Aswan you will get a true appreciation for Egyptian culture in a much more relaxed and laidback atmosphere than its neighbours of Sharm El Sheikh and Luxor; within only 6 hours flight from most UK airports you could soon find yourself in this beautiful city.
