Rocktombs Aswan

---

In the Aswan area there are besides the famous temples of Philea, Abu Simbel and Kalabsha some others sites too, which are worth a visit. Not known to many Aswan has several Rocktombes, open to the public. They are located on the Western Nilebank high upon the desertslopes, overlooking the river. A visit to them can be combined with a nice boattrip on the Nile to Kitchener Island, though it takes a harsh climb up the hill.They belong to the Southern Kings from the 11th dynasty, by the name of Sirenpowet 2.
