El Nabatat Island in Aswan
The garden site is unique worldwide, and 3 beautiful elements are gathered there that are not found anywhere else in the world, which is its view of the western mountain rich in ancient Egyptian antiquities, which begins with the noble's tombs in the north and ends in the Aga Khan Cemetery in the south with a height of 50 meters above the surface of the water and a length of 1.5 km directly on the Nile.
Mausoleum of Aga Khan
The Aga Khan III and Begum Om Habibeh Aga Khan's residence, the Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan House, is visible from the mausoleum, which is perched atop a hill along the west bank of the Nile. Hassan Fathy, an Egyptian architect, created the villa, which served as Aga Khan III's winter residence. Aga Khan III's will specified that he would be buried close to the villa two years after his passing.
Hassan Fathy (23 March 1900 - 30 November 1989) was an Egyptian architect who dedicated his work to restoring the use of adobe and the designs and layouts of traditional buildings in contrast to the Western ones. In addition, he was an Egyptian pioneer who led the right technology for construction in Egypt.
The garden began as a home to some Nubians who were engaged in agriculture by planting green fodder in it on two single legs, then Lord Kitchener, who owned Kitchener's Island, took it as its headquarters and was a military base during the English occupation, and after the end of the occupation, it turned into a public park and was called a botanical garden.
