Explore the city and its surroundings, the local food and drink, the shopping opportunities and more in our travel guide via the link in our bio. The city is located on the Nile – so watch out for the crocodiles in picture three! It sits among the rugged beauty of the ‘Belly of Rocks’ (Batn el-Hajar), upstream of the rapids of the Second Nile Cataract. This small, quiet city sits on a seasonal island roughly 300 kilometres south of Syene or Swenett (modern-day Aswan, Egypt). You’ll find one and two-story houses and buildings perched on a rocky hillside above the river, with a band of lush green cultivated land between the city and the water. Waterwheels along the river’s edge are turned by a patiently plodding bull or pair of bulls, which ensures the agricultural fields remain well watered. Food and drink is plentiful and there’s a range to suit many tastes. From fruit and veg like dates, figs, bananas, pulses and cucumbers to hearty local stews and flatbread, you’ll have no problem finding a dish you’ll enjoy.
