Aswan, one of our first destination, is the southernmost city of Egypt. It is located about 100 kilometers south of Cairo, the ultimate destination that will end our trip and will return back to Spain. Aswan is known in our time as the place he learned to hypnotize and conquer the greatest mystery writer of all time, Agatha Christie. Here he found inspiration to write some of his novels.
Surely you also inspire visiting some of its essential parts. One is the High Dam, a popular prey over 3600 meters long built between 1960 and 1970 who hides behind a peculiar history. South of the city we will run into the Temple of Isis at Philae was built during the third century before Christ. Not to any church but to the regarded as the last bastion of religion and the Egyptian hieroglyphic writing. Other tourist attractions of Aswan is the unfinished obelisk and the Main Market, the Grand Bazaar style.

Legend has it that “the statue of the Goddess Seth Meth is magic, it seems alive and not be photographed. While waiting to cross the passage of dozens of street vendors lock loaded with silk, Egyptian cotton and other items come to you.
The icing on this delicious cake puts the city of Cairo in which you have the privilege of admiring the unique wonder of the ancient world that is preserved on the planet: the Great Pyramid of Giza.
