Dome of the Hawa is a rocky mountain located on the west bank of the Nile near Aswan. The mountain is about 130 meters high and contains the carved tombs of Aswan's nobles and priests from the time of the ancient Egyptians. On the mountain's southern peak is the tomb of a Muslim saint named Sidi Ali bin al-Hawa, after whom the dome is named. It is a white domed mausoleum visible from afar, and below it are the remains of a Coptic monastery (St. George).
