Got nearly scammed as always in Egypt. We were told the place was closing and police were coming. If we wanted to go anyway, we would have to pay. Yeah, sure. We found the normal entrance fee, paid… someone. And got up there.Beautiful view with the sunset, the tombs have colors. It was our first tomb visit… the Valley of Kings would come after.I recommend the spot for the view and wonders.Ps: Never ride a camel… they are not treated right.
Tombs of nobles in the area. While many of the tombs are not in as great a state of some of those in Luxor, they were still very impressive. The view from the top of the mountain, as a panorama of Aswan, was also worth seeing. There were quite a few good paths. You could take a camel to the top, but it was easy enough to get to the top, and see the tombs as well.
The best place in Nube, Aswan, you must go all the mountain to take pictures up there, you can take a camel, you can go by stairs you will see all Aswan from the top, after that go to tombs of the nobles very amazing, then drink the Nubian cofee not the regular one it has a different taste, like heaven, the people there make your trip breathtaking
Very interesting site with magic sunset view on the Nile and Kirchener island (botanical garden) . It includes the Old Kingdom, 6th Dynasty (2255-2246 BC) tomb of Harkhuf , an official and explorer for the Royal Court, with its autobiography written in hieroglyphs. This relates even the famous story about the pigmy he found in the land of Yam and which caught the interest of the young Pharaoh
One of the best sites in Aswan to take pictures. You can climb on foot or by camel. Camel ride is about 100 EGP in Jan 2019 but it depends on your negotiation skills. Climbing up to the top where Abou Elhowa is located is challenging but worth the trouble because of good scenes. Go 1 hour before sunset is best.
Very nice view from the top. Tombs are not fantastic but still worth to see. Landscape is the reason to go.Camel ride to go to monastery 100egp/person
Nice little hike up a great viewpoint overlooking the city. About half an hour up if you are fit. Be aware that the first half consists of decent stairs, but the second half is just a sandy path, which can be challenging for some. Start is the stairs at the end of the main road(marked by a load of camels), opposite a ticket office. 60 Egp for foreigners, 5 for Egyptians (residents depend on persuasion skills). Theories differ whether the small building all the way on the top was meant for security or religious purposes.
Costs only 60 so worth the visit. But not particularly impressive if you have seen what Egypt had to offer. Also it’s a bit dangerous and I saw one man nearly fall which would have been a serious injury. A big climb to the top so be prepared
High and nice place to see the whole nile width
One of the greatest places Ive ever visit
Great place. But pool was VERY COLD!
One of my favorite places in Egypt. Aswan is simply tied with Luxor as youre spoilt with so much history and culture, but wow, Cairo is a place like no other! I guess, its a equal triple tie then. Spent a lot of time relaxing in feluccas in Aswan and you simply must not leave, without experiencing the beautiful Nile in a felucca, looking at everything from afar gently swayed by the waters. I miss looking out to the Tombs of the Nobles every day. Catch the public ferry the Nubians catch to visit the Tombs.
Good view on the top of the valley
The place is so cool
Nice view on Aswan
Nice place and have many steps and you can see the Aswan and mixing between Nike , desert and green land
Really nice place with Amazing view
Its nice, the view is really good from up and it doesnt cost much
I loved it 🥰😍
Amazing
A very wonderful day
Great place & great view
Awesome place
Great place
On the slope of the hill (west side of the Nile) opposite Ashuana, there are several archeological sites in the desert, formerly the Nubian kingdom. The tombs of the nobles are mostly from the time of the ancient kingdom, the nobles were mostly local dignitaries, some consolidating their importance through trade and expeditions outside the Egyptian borders. Easily accessible, not all tombs are open (some close to you by a nearby guard in exchange for a few pounds ...), not all have even been explored. Like most tombs, these were looted before the arrival of the Europeans. The entrance fee for NE Egyptians is 60 egp.
Всего 2-3 гробницы в хорошем состоянииНеплохое местечко, чтобы погрузиться в атмосферуКлассный панорамный вид на АсуанНо все портят навязчивые кататили на верблюдах. Конечно же, можно совершенно не обращать на них внимание, но в атмосферу они не дадут погрузиться однозначно...Стоит посетить, если нечем заняться в Асуане ;)
The tombs of the nobles are called the tombs of Qubbat al-Hawa, after the name of the Qubbat al-Hawa mountain. It is a rocky mountain with a height of about 130 meters. It contains carved tombs of nobles, priests and statesmen, including soldiers, civilians, and Aswan scribes from the era of the ancient Egyptians, and in which there are 50 tombs.And the “graves of the nobles” are located on the western bank of the Nile in the city of Aswan, which represents a historical aesthetic masterpiece facing the Nile Corniche, especially after the implementation of a lighting project for the western mainland and the tombs of the nobles, which includes a group of rocky tombs located on the western bank of Aswan, and these tombs were for the rulers of the city of Aswan.The tombs of the nobles are carved in sandstone and date back to ancient times. They have a historical importance that places them at the forefront of the tombs in Upper Egypt, the most important of which are the tombs of “Micho and Sabni.” It also gives an idea of the architectural style of the tombs, as well as the titles and jobs assumed by the rulers of the south, where the inscriptions written on the walls These tombs played the role that these princes played in protecting the country or in making trips within Africa.In a review and description of these tombs, we find that they begin with an ascending sandy corridor that leads to the entrance, followed directly by the cemetery hall, which rests on pillars cut in the rock, and its walls are decorated with scenes of the daily life of the ancient Egyptian, such as scenes of agriculture, plowing, sacrifices, and hunting birds in the swamps of the delta and deserts. The hall is a well that leads to the burial chamber at the bottom of the cemetery.In June 2014, the Aswan Antiquities District decided, in cooperation with the Spanish University of Khayan, to document the latest archaeological discovery that was found in the area of the tombs of the nobles at the northern end of the island of “Al-Fantasin” west of the Nile in Aswan, with the participation of the archaeological mission of the Spanish University headed by Dr. Alejandro, which began its work in the area in 2008.This documentation was done by video recording, as the masks of the mummies and coffins that were found are in good condition, and among the discoveries is a burial chamber for its owner, Prince Haqqia Aib III of the Twelfth Dynasty, one of the rulers of the Middle Kingdom, and his coffin was found with a mask (cartonage) of colored linen. Covering the body, the autopsy proved that Haqqa Aib the owner of the mummy was suffering from a sprain of the spine
A wonderful place that includes 4 main tombs and the air dome... The tombs are colorful and beautiful and the view is wonderful where you can see all of Aswan
A good plan is to take the ferryman who is at the level of the avenue which leads to the station, it costs 10LE for two, front for women and back for men. Arrival on the other side, take a ticket for the visit of the tombs, its not extraordinary but we then access the mausoleum upstairs with a great viewpoint and a great light at the end of the day. Then follow the ridge for 150 / 200m and descend the sand dunes by running as at Pyla ... there 2 options, return to the pier or continue for 30 / 40mn until the level of the mausoleum of Aga Khan (no official ship, we are at sunset, in short, we did not take the risk, but in principle there are always boats ...)

The panorama is splendid at the level of the mausoleum. If you have time, I advise you to do it in the morning or at the end of the day: visit the tombs, then the ascent to the mausoleum (unfortunately dirty and degraded) in order to continue towards the Monastery of Saint Simeon which can also be visited. If you dont like walking, go for the camel ride but Im not sure you can stop to visit the temple. On the way back, stop and take an excellent lemon juice in the establishment just in front of the steps.
Tombs of the Nobles ... LuxorThe tombs of statesmen, including soldiers, civilians, priests, clerks, and othersIt is the best tomb after the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, where the nobles come in the position that follows the kings and priests.There are thousands of nobles’ tombs in Luxor, and their construction began in the eighteenth dynasty, so due to the different times in which those tombs were built, you will find many inscriptions and drawings of different colors or type of drawing, inscriptions and shapes of gods, which makes visiting the tombs of the nobles a real pleasure and a must-experience. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . from her work.Among the thousands of discovered tombs, only 19 are available for visiting in the tombs of the nobles.

She is beautiful, but she needs a good guide and good health
You can take a Nile boat - a Nile cruise - in order to reach the other side of the beach and then ride a camel so that you can go up to the top of the mountain and see the tombs of the nobles while enjoying a panoramic view of the city of Aswan from above Mount Abu Alhawa
An interesting place and there are no people at all, only one guard who opens and closes the tombs
