Aswan was the last name of Ancient Pharaonic Egypt and was considered an important garrison town that guarded Egypt's southern frontier and was a base for military incursions into Nubia and Sudan. Pharaohs from the Old Kingdom sent expeditions and built fortifications in the city. The city was also an important trade center between Egypt. Nubia and Sudan. Its location as a crossroads to the granite quarries, gold mines and trade ways kept it as an important capital and a strategic place. The armies of Thutmes III, Ramses II, the Roman Empire, and Mohamed Ali, or the English army, had always a permanent base in Aswan from where they explored Nubia and Africa.

In Aswan, the visitor can take one photo in the middle of the green color of the trees, the blue of the Nile, the white of the sails and the yellow of the desert.
