The island of Elephantine is very attractive in several respects.
For it's vegetation, the white sails of the feluccas, colourful Nubian villages and the finest Nilometer
along the whole Nile. Elephantine was in Ancient Egypt called Yebu or Abu. This historic wealth
of Elephantine is largely connected to ivory trade and the quarrying of granite nearby.
