The Mausoleum of Aga Khan is the mausoleum of Aga Khan III, Sir Sultan Muhammed Shah, who died in 1957. The mausoleum is located at Aswan, along the Nile of Egypt, since Egypt was formerly the centre of power of the Fatimids. The mausoleum is built in the style of the Fatimid tombs in Cairo.〔http://www.touregypt.net/agakhan.htm〕 It is built of pink limestone, while the tomb is built of white Carrara marble. The Aga Khan was buried there two years after he died, since he used to spend part of the winter season living in a nearby villa.〔''Aswan, Philae, Abu Simbel: 150 Colour Illustrations'', by Giovanna Magi, page 24.〕 A red rose is laid on the Aga Khan's tomb everyday- a practice first started by the Aga Khan's wife.〔http://www.aswan.world-guides.com/aswan_landmarks.html〕 == Gallery == File:Assuan 9785.JPG|Mausoleum of Aga Khan - Aswan, Egypt.
