Nice.

great city reminds me of sudan

^^ haha i am not surprised at all.

Aswan its indeed a great city, thanks for those photos

^^ haha i am not surprised at all.

why do you think that sudan is low class???? or something.

why do you think that sudan is low class???? or something.

Don't you think it's more likely he said that because Aswan is a Nubian city?:bash:

exactly, why start tension almerrikh?? Calm down a bit

OMG, I would never think of that, the reason was because Aswan is the nearest Egyptian city to Sudan, the temp and the atmosphere would be the same, and there is no border bettwen Egypt and Sudan so most people there probably been to Sudan and people in Sudan been there so they share almost the same tradition.

yeah aswan was origianally part of sudan thats why their people kinda look like us but not all sudanese are nubian kitayabi.

^^ I am not sure about that I don't know if it's even true or not I never heard about it, but I know that Egypt Sudan Libya and Syria too It think Syria too were one country so...

yeah aswan was origianally part of sudan thats why their people kinda look like us but not all sudanese are nubian kitayabi.

I never said all Sudanese were Nubian:?
However since Aswan has a significant Nubian population as does Sudan, the city can be fairly compared to Sudan. Aswan is a beautiful and historic city that I would be proud to be associated with.


The borders between the Nubian kingdom and the Egyptian Kingdom have been shifting for thousands of years, during the 25th dynasty the Nubian Kingdom stretched all the way through to the Suiz and in to Palestine.
However if your referring to modern history the Sovereign state of Sudan was founded in 1956 this state did not include Aswan.
Therefore the link between Sudan and Aswan is not a territorial one it is mainly cultural. the Nubian customs and traditions of Southern Egypt are similar to those of Northern Sudan. That's why you will see singers such as Mohammed Mounir preforming Nubian Sudanese songs.

^^ I am not sure about that I don't know if it's even true or not I never heard about it, but I know that Egypt Sudan Libya and Syria too It think Syria too were one country so...

Egypt and Sudan were one Country from 1898 to 1956, King Farouqs title was King of Egypt and Sudan, however he was only a puppet for the British Government.
Egypt and Syria were united for a few yers I believe during the seventies.

I'll be updating this thread sometime later. The Aswan area also marks the traditional boundary of historic Egypt. How large is the ethnic Nubian population in this city ? Since I've seen demographics being mentioned.
