Let me take you to a wonderful place , Plant Island or Botanical Island or Kitchener's Island (it had more than name ) at aswan, Egypt .
The smelling of the air here is very refreshing, it had a wonderful climate
I visited the Island with my family, my wife and my young two Daughters
The Aswan Botanical Garden is located upon -and co-extensive with- the entire island. Kitchener's Island is one of two major islands on the Nile in vicinity of Aswan, the other one being Elephantine. Elephantine is much larger than Kitchener's Island and located between Kitchener's Island and the city of Aswan (east bank). Thus, it is hard to see the smaller Kitchener's Island from the city. The island was given to Lord Kitchener as a reward for his services in the Sudan Campaign (1896-1898). With the aid of the Ministry of Irrigation, Kitchener rapidly transformed the small 750 metres (2,460 ft) long island into a paradise of exotic trees and plants in carefully gardens with view walkways. It later passed into the property of the Egyptian government and was used as a research station for examining different food and cash crops.
We reached the island by motorboat ( you can use a local ferry or felucca ) , the jurney took about 9 minutes from the bank of nile river at aswan till the entrance of the Botanical Garden
From first step at the island you fell difference at weather for better .
At our tour at the island we enjoyed seeing hundreds of tropical and native plants, while at the same time enjoying some clean fresh air and quiet .

The tour took about one hour and half , at the end of it we took the motorboat from the other side of the island .
