Aswan - Corniche

From the railway station, at the north end of the town, a street leads west to the Corniche, a riverside promenade on which are the offices of the Governorate, several hotels and the Tourist Bazaar, with the Tourist Information Office.

On the opposite side of the river can be seen the Kubbet el Hawa, a sheikh's tomb, crowning a hill which contains rock tombs of the Old and Middle Kingdoms.
