Aga Khan Mausoleum

A stunning and peaceful landmark overlooking the Nile. The Aga Khan Mausoleum is beautifully positioned on a hill, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Aswan, the river, and the surrounding desert. The architecture is elegant and simple, reflecting the serene atmosphere of the site. The area is quiet, well-maintained, and perfect for anyone who enjoys history, culture, and scenic views. The peaceful walk up the hill and the calm environment make the visit truly special. A must-see spot in Aswan for its beauty, tranquility, and unforgettable views. Highly recommended!

17 October 2022 Sailed past the Mausoleum on more than one occasion. The Aga Khan III is entombed in this Mausoleum on the west bank of the Nile in Aswan. The Mausoleum is not open to the public so one can only view the exterior. It was built between 1956 and 1960 and when the Aga Khan III died in 1957 he was initially buried in Switzerland until he was reinterred here in 1959. The Mausoleum is built from pink limestone and sits atop a hill overlooking the former residence.

A serene and majestic resting place overlooking the Nile, the Aga Khan Mausoleum in Aswan exudes timeless grace and spiritual tranquility—reflecting the profound legacy of philanthropy and global service of Shah Karim Aga Khan.

You need prior permission to go inside the Mosulem. The permission process takes 4 weeks minimum. We didn't have the permission so we just visited the place from outside. It's a nice Mausoleum in a very quite and serene island overlooking the Nile and Aswan city.

Nice tomb and is of super importance for Sub continent (pakistan india bangladesh) as Aga khan was the founder of all india muslim league. U fortunately its closed n you need permission from government to visit but can get a great view from botanical garden 🪴

We happened to see the mausoleum of Aga Khan while sailing along the Nile. Our boat driver shared a bit about its history. From what I heard, it’s not open to the public.

It's magnificent place for the house and moselum of Aghakhan and his wife you need a permeation from the family to visit.

Unfortunately this beautiful mausoleum’s private house, the owner’s house, leaves ugly, uncovered, white lights on, all night long. It prevents all other residents on the islands around to see the stars and, ironically, the Aga Khan mausoleum itself, which has dimmer orange lights. I am sure the Aga Khan Foundation would want to pay more attention to light pollution. Otherwise, a beautiful mausoleum in one of the most preserved parts of Aswan’s Nile river banks. I came around the site about 15 times.
