Egypt's most tranquil town is Aswan, set upon the winding curves of the Nile. Backed by orange-hued dunes, this is the perfect place to stop and unwind for a few days and soak up the chilled-out atmosphere. Take the river ferry across to Elephantine Island and stroll the colorful streets of the Nubian villages. Ride a camel to the desert monastery of St. Simeon on the East Bank. Or just drink endless cups of tea on one of the riverboat restaurants, while watching the lateen-sailed feluccas drift past. Make sure to jump aboard a felucca at sunset to sail around Aswan's islands. This is by far, Aswan's most popular activity and the most relaxing way to take in the local sights. #lakes#beaches

This is a must-see Temple in Egypt. To get there is only one way possible: by boat. The temple is in a private island and it’s amazing to arrive there. You feel like you are in a movie. 😳 The temple is beautiful. Every wall is a different history. Its so rich historically. I strongly recommend you to take water with you since there is no stores selling water in this small island. This temple will be forever in my mind. #summervacation

The Nile River in Egypt is so beautiful. I was very happy to wake up with the river view. We were in Aswan city and you can see the desert right on the side of the Nile River. There is a lot of people who sell Nile cruises for 30 minutes or 1 hour. I recommend you to always negotiate the price before closing the deal. The river is also rich in history and to imagine everything that happened here in the past is amazing. 👏🏻 I can’t wait to be back! #historicculture#summervacation

This is one of the most famous hotel in the world located in Aswan. The hotel was built in 1899 by Thomas Cook to house European travelers. Its guests have included Tsar Nicholas II, Winston Churchill, Howard Carter, Margaret Thatcher, Jimmy Carter, François Mitterrand, Princess Diana, Queen Noor and Agatha Christie, who set portions of her novel Death on the Nile at the hotel. 👏🏻 It was beautiful to visit it. The hotel is WONDERFUL. #beautifulhotel#summervacation

There are plenty of historic sites here and numerous temples nearby, including Philae Temple on its island, but one of Aswan's most popular things to do is simply kicking back and watching the river life go by. #beaches

#tripaway Colorful little village An interesting walk through a small Nubian village. Don't know the name of it, but it seems like a common tourist destination. We were part of a group and we arrived by a very scenic boat ride. We visited a local school and a place where they had some Nile crocodiles. The colorful locals are pushy about selling their items. Don't make eye contact or speak to them if you don't want to buy anything. Overall enjoyed the visit. #tripaway

As we floated down the Nile in Egypt we saw docks that probably have not changed design in hundreds of years. Still built with locally sourced materials and labor. The scenes were so illuminating, peak into the past. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

Advertising for Pepsi was everywhere near this Temple! It was really interesting as usually Come is seen more in the places we have visited overseas. Interestingly,, we found most locals drank tea or coffee or fruit juice. not cola based drinks. But the signs were certainly everywhere. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
