What are people saying about Aswan

Our guide Sam made the trip worthwhile
The trip started with a meet and greet at Aswan airport. The river boat representative was there to meet us and to hard us off to our private guide. The river boat was nice with a lounge and bar and also a pool/spa on the top deck. Breakfast/lunch and dinner was buffet style on a lower deck. Food was mostly local menus. The cabin was good size and the bathroom was reasonable size. The shower was hot and strong pressure. The tours Itenerary were arranged by tour boat company. Our guide Sam, was with us for all tours, arranged for the tickets. He was very knowledgeable about all the Egyptian temples that we visited and provided not only the historical facts, but all the back-stories.he was funny and engaging. He also arranged the private car and drivers for the excursions, including the boat ride to visit the Temple of Philae.

See the real Egypt.
If you want to see how people live in Egypt away from the cities take this trip. It is tiring but worth it. You share the road ( if you call it that) with double trucks, buses, mini vans, cars, tricycle buses, cars, motorbikes, people, horse and cart, donkeys and even hundreds of goats blocking the road. You see the people in their day to day lives and kids jumping off the bridges into the canals for fun and to cool off. Then of cause the temples , especially Edfu, along the way.

The best experience I had
I had a fantastic experience on a 4-day Nile cruise. The entire cruise was very well organized. I was picked up right on time at the meeting point, and we boarded the ship quickly with a fast check-in. The cabins were extremely clean and tidy, and they were serviced every day. The food quality was excellent, and the staff were incredibly kind and respectful. Overall, I had a really wonderful experience on this 4-day cruise.

Abu Simbel private car transfer
It suited us that the excursion started at 7:00, not very early like most tours. The drive took about 3 hours and 30 minutes. The car was clean and the driver drove carefully. We spent two hours at the location and the driver dropped us off in front of the desired restaurant in Aswan. I recommend this tour, the price and service were very good; other tours were much more expensive, even when I tried to arrange it through the accommodation owner. I was a little worried whether the driver would pick us up at the accommodation, because it was written somehow vaguely on the website, i.e. some meeting points are mentioned.
