Egypt hopes to capitalize on Aga Khan's burial to renew interest in the Aswan mausoleum

The Aga Khan III mausoleum, a rectangular mosque-like building on top of a hill on the western bank of the Nile River in the southern Egyptian city of Aswan, is now at the center of tourism hopes in the city.

These hopes were stimulated by the February 9 burial in the mausoleum's tomb of Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, the 49th hereditary imam of Ismaili Muslims.
