Tombs on the West Bank sailing south on Nile Cruise

Jan 22, 2013, 12:56 PM

Tombs on the West Bank sailing south on a Nile Cruise.

Can someone tell me the name of the area / tombs you see on the West Bank of the Nile when sailing near Kom Ombo / Aswan.

There are a few that look possibly Greco Roman tombs and others that look mid - late dynasty tombs.

Some of them look accesible by felluca / row boat as theyare right on the edge of the water. Others are higher up on dry land.

Thanks in advance.

Ouch!!! - At least mine was 'planned' even if I'd rather not have needed one/two in the first place.

Sorry you had to cancel.

I'm down to one/no crutches already, but walking up the VoK might be a stretch!

Trying to plan a visit for later this year, but after a major leg op, the surgeon has to give the all-clear to fly (DVT etc.) before we can even consider booking.
