Botanical Garden of Aswan:

The Aswan Botanical Garden is home to thousands of birds and numerous exotic plants collected from various parts of the world, including the Far East, India, and Africa. These gardens have an area of 6.8 hectares.

The Aswan Botanical Garden presents a charming and unique escape from the city. A true treasure trove of Egyptian artifacts, wandering through the garden will transport you into a dreamlike state of scenery.

The entirety of the island is landscaped with rare and exotic plants that were planted there by order of Lord Horatio Kitchener, who had gifted the island in gratitude for his service as the consul general of the Egyptian Army under British control.

Kitchener Island:

Kitchener Island is in the center of the River Nile and between the Cataract Islands opposite Aswan City, sits the relaxing Island of Lord Kitchener. Often a welcome excursion to many visitors looking for a relaxing few hours in a green environment, cafes and Nile Views, especially during the hotter months of the year.

Kitchener transformed the 750-meter island into a paradise of exotic trees and plants surrounding the gardens with paths to see this spectacular view. It was then transferred to the ownership of the Egyptian government and used the island as a research station called the Plant Research Institute, better known as the Aswan Botanical Island.
