It's an imposing church where you can go to pray. Also, there's a library where you can buy books and gifts.

Aswan Market

This outdoor market is a central feature of Aswan, Egypt’s southernmost city.

Reviewed By JosephSpendlove - Derby, United Kingdom

Starting from the Train Station running parallel to the river all the way to KFC, the huge market starts off with the usual tourist stalls, then goes to the local market and then ends with more tourist places. Number one rule is to barter. Remember how much things cost where you come from and don’t be ripped off, unfortunately it’s normal for somethings to start at 200 LE and you ended up walking away with it for 20 LE, be ruthless when talking about the price and you have to be willing to walk away to get the best price. Great fun, highly recommend.

Brilliant market for locals and tourists. Buy leather goods and spices, and try local pastries. Parallel to Corniche.
