Mini Bus private tour of the Top Dam, Philae Temple and the unfinishedObelisk
Great tour, picked. Up from our Cruise ship on time and given a guided tour of the Top Dam at Aswan, the Philae Temple via a small boat and a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk, our Guide the lovely Mary is excellent and very knowledgable, she even stopped off at a local shop and provided us with a bottle of cold water.
Fantastic value for money and highly recommended tour!

Abu Simbel
A 3hr drive from Aswan, mainly on good and quiet roads through the desert
Both temples are fantastic and worth taking your time

Nile, temples. What else
Sarah was a superb guide. Perfect Spanish and the best attitude. Philae is breathtaking. The Nile ride is fun!

Great private tour
It was really well organised and the information prior to the trip reassured me. Our guide Mary and driver were already waiting for myself and partner in advance. Mary was lovely and very knowledgable, we were so lucky having her as a guide.
Thank you so much Mary we really enjoyed our tour with you.

Interesting half day tour
We really enjoyed the tour with our guide Mohammed 'Emad'. Very interesting and informative. Part of the tour was a boat trip to see Philae temple. It's advertised as a full day but was about 4 hours - which was a perfect amount of time for the 3 sights.

It is convenient to go to main tourism place for a short time
I enjoyed this tour between the transfer time from Abu Simbel to Cairo. I was picked up at Aswan Airport and sent back. It is convenient for me to go to some of the main tourism place for a short time.
But it might be kind to make clear that extra rate is needed if someone takes pick-up and drop-off service from and to the airport both. (I agree to be charged because the airport is far.)

Great Little Gem
Ahmed Faheen was a great guide. Super knowledgable. Got us everywhere without any fuss and looked after us the whole time.
An all out great experience from being picked up from the hotel to getting a cool little boat to Abu!

Beautiful Aswan and amazing tour !
We had a nice tour. Fathy our guide was really kind and after we got picked up. We were hunger and wanted to eat something local. He took us to a local place. Didn’t allow us to pay. If you have time crunch half day tour at Aswan is good.
