Cemeteries and memorials to visit Aswan

Fatimid tombs whose domes can still be seen are located behind the Nubia Museum, and a few metres from the unfinished Obelisk, the largest carved monolith lying on the ground. The marble plaques that adorned the tombs are mostly in Cairo, they bore the names of the deceased. The authorities do not appear to have marked the locations. The tombs are topped by a dome and small cement walls that delimit their rectangular contours. Some marble slabs have calligraphy on them.
