Aswan is a city of 370,000 in southern Egypt, capital of Aswan Governorate, on the east bank of the Nile at the first cataract. It is a major winter tourist destination and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
The Nubian Museum is the city's cultural centrepiece, housing artefacts rescued before the Aswan Dam flooded Lower Nubia.
