Fatimid Cemetery in Aswan

Among the modern tombs in the Fatimid cemetery in Aswan are ancient mud-brick domed tombs dating back to the 9th century that you can visit with Egypt travel packages. These domes with their horn-like corners are unique in southern Egypt. The tombs of local saints with flags can be found here, where Aswanis circumambulate and pray for the intercession of the saints. Egypt tours can also visit several tombs in Aswan, such as the Tombs of the Nobles in Aswan, which are rock tombs located on the west bank of Aswan, and the Aga Khan Mausoleum, which is located on the banks of the Nile in the Egyptian city of Aswan. This tomb is inspired by the design of the Egyptian Fatimid tombs. The visit is not only for the tombs, you can also visit Elephantine Island, which has agricultural areas mostly palm trees.
