About This Trip
Ride up through the desert hills on Aswan's west bank for views over the Nile, the Aga Khan Mausoleum, and the Monastery of St. Simeon as the sky turns orange.
A desert-hill camel ride overlooking the Nile and Aswan's monastery, timed for sunset.
Why This Matters
Camels have carried travelers along Aswan's west bank for centuries, the same route Nubian traders once used to cross into the desert. Climbing these hills at sunset puts you above the Nile's first great bend, facing the Aga Khan's mausoleum and the ancient Monastery of St. Simeon — a landscape where Nubian, Islamic, and Coptic history sit side by side, lit gold as the day ends.
Best for: Thrill-seekers and adventure lovers
