Tranquil Felucca sail boats on the River Nile at the ancient Egyptian city of Aswan previously known as The Nubian City, looking towards the burial site and the Tombs of the Nobles and the hillside Mausoleum of the Aga Khan.

For this he was gifted the land known as Kitcheners Island that Lord Kitchener turned into one of the worlds first botanical gardens
