Gharb Seheyl opposite Seheyl Island has become a favourite for tourists looking for day trips from Aswan and a quieter life. The village is charming with Nubian architecture and has a nearby beach for safe swimming camel rides and a Nubian crafts market. The laid back guesthouses make it a great choice for a few leisurely days.

To get to Gharb Seheyl you can take a motorboat or felucca from the Corniche in Aswan (LE80-LE100) or drive from the Aswan Dam.
