What You Will Do
Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan, to enjoy the Feluca ride on the Nile . Board your felucca and cross the Nile to the high cliffs opposite Aswan, just north of Kitchener’s Island. A set of stairs cutting across the hill takes you up to the tombs from the felucca landing. The Nobles tombs in Aswan dates mainly from the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms of ancient Egypt and most follow a simple plan, with an entrance hall, a pillared room and a corridor leading to the burial chamber. The tombs provide important vivid wall paintings showing scenes of everyday life details of officials.
