With this half-day tour, you travel with your own Egyptologist guide to the Unfinished Obelisk, Aswan High Dam, and Philae Temple, with the opportunity to view and learn about them as you like. Private air-conditioned transport, a choice of departure times, and hotel, port, and station pickup and drop-off are also included for convenience.

Focus more on the royal temples of Abu Simbel and less on logistics, with this comprehensive day trip from Aswan. Alongside an Egyptologist guide, you’ll travel direct from your Aswan hotel to the striking archaeological complex. You’ll have ample free time to discover the temples on your own, followed up with commentary from your guide to learn all about them.

Recognized with UNESCO World Heritage status, Philae Temple sits on an island around 5 miles (8 kilometers) outside Aswan. Skip the hassle of haggling with taxi drivers and ensure a timely arrival when you prebook this convenient private tour. Your package includes 2-way private transfers, a private guide, soft drinks, and the motorboat to the island: entrance fees are at your own expense.
