Qubbat Al-Hawa Cemetery

Aswan

Qubbat Al-Hawa Cemetery consists of several tombs on the west bank of the Nile across the river from the northern tip of Elephantine Island cut into the rocky slopes of the cliffs that offer an enchanting panorama that reveals the beauty of Aswan. 

These tombs are those of local governors and high dignitaries from the Old to Middle Kingdoms. This cemetery site, which remained in use from the Old kingdom to the Roman Period, is named after the domed tomb of Sheikh Aly Abu Al-Hawa (qubba meaning dome in Arabic), which stands at the top of the cliffs above the tombs.
