Mausoleum of Aga Khan, Mausoleum on Nile west bank in Aswan, Egypt
The white marble mausoleum stands on a hill, combining Fatimid architectural elements with pink limestone construction and white marble interior decorations.
Sultan Muhammad Shah Aga Khan III, who passed away in 1957, chose this location for his final resting place after experiencing healing in Aswan.
The tomb represents a fusion of Islamic architectural traditions, incorporating designs from Cairo's Fatimid period with modern construction techniques.
The mausoleum opens daily from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 60 Egyptian pounds for visitors.
Every morning, a fresh red rose adorns the tomb, continuing a tradition started by Begum Om Habibeh, his fourth wife.
