Scope and Contents
"The mausoleum of Aga Khan III, forty-eight Imam of the Ismaili sect of Islam, is another landmark of Aswan. It was built in the Fatimid style with a single dome. A small mosque has been incorporated into the structure. When the Begum is in residence in the villa, below the mausoleum, she carries every day a rose to her husband's tomb." [Kamil Jill, 1993: Aswan and Abu Simbel, History and Guide. The American University in Cairo Press]. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for American Institute of Architects, directing the Egyptian portion of the documentary on Ancient Egypt, March 1965 and September 1965.
