More about these youngsters

as we get closer to the Camel Ride

Elephantine Island is the largest of the Aswan area islands, and is one of the most

ancient sites in Egypt, with artifacts dating to predynastic periods. This is

probably due to its location at the first Cataract of the Nile, which provided a

natural boundary between Egypt and Nubia. As an island, it was also easily

defensible. In fact, the ancient town located in the southern part of the island was

also a fortress through much of it's history. At one time, there was a bridge from

the mainland to the island.
