This is the mausoleum of the spiritual leader of the Ismailis, a Shi'ite sect based principally in India but with followers around the world. It is an elegant pink granite structure dating from the late 1950s, and resembles the Fatimid tombs in Cairo. Members of this sect consider themselves to be the direct spiritual descendants of the Fatimids. The mausoleum is near the Monastery of St Simeon on the west bank at Aswan, and has excellent views, including Aga Khan's white villa below, where his widow still lives for three months of the year.
