Egypt, the Nile River in Aswan, 1874
A stunning shot showing a part of the Nile River in the charming city of Aswan in 1874 AD, taken by French photographer Pascal Seboua from the top of Qubbet el-Hawa Hill in Aswan.
It is approximately 130 meters high and contains carved tombs of Aswan's nobles and priests from the era of ancient Egypt. Also located on the southern summit of the mountain is the tomb of a Muslim saint named Sidi Ali ibn al-Hawa, after whom the dome is named.
It is a white mausoleum with a dome that can be seen from afar. Below it are the remains of a Coptic monastery (Saint George).
