On December 2nd, 2014 at 1 p.m. the new visitors course in the so-called Fatimid Cemetery in Aswan will be opened under the auspices of the Ministery of Antiquities in Egypt!
The Islamic Necropolis of Aswan, better known as the Fatimid Cemetery, is the most important group of Islamic tombs in Egypt, dating from the end of the 7th century to the12th century A.D. Since 2006 a team from the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) has been engaged in investigating and documenting the site's development, from its beginning up until today. The results of this work will now be presented to the public.
