Upper Egypt

The river Nile flows from the south of Egypt down to the north where it meets the sea at the Mediterranean . As such the South of Egypt is referred to as Upper Egypt.  It is much hotter and less fertile than its northern counterpart and the flora and fauna in this region are more African than Mediterranean.

Upper Egypt includes the following towns and sites:

• Luxor 
• Aswan 
• Edfu 
• Kom Ombo 
• Esna 
• Abu Simbel
