Highly recommendible!
If you are in Aswan this tour is a 'must do'... The Aswan High Dam is nice to see, but the real highlight is the Philae Temple on the island, which also houses a Roman temple. A magic place!
Both the driver and the guide (Aida) where five star quality. The guide gives you a lot of information about both the Greek and Roman temples. And she is very funny... 😉

A must do in ASSUAN
We had a splendid time with Omar ( guide) and Hani ( driver).
They are very kind and know English very well. Omar is prepared on everything we visited and he answered all our questions.
They even brought us to the quarry to see how local people extract the stole from the ground.
We really uppreciated their company and we suggest tourists to book this trip with them.

A great excursion with a knowledgeable guide
Emad was a friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide who answered all of our questions. The sites we visited were very interesting and we really enjoyed our half day tour! If we could leave three 5 star reviews we would.

Aswan sites private tour
Great private tour of the high dam, philae temple and the unfinished obelisk. My guide , Mohamed , was very knowledgeable , friendly and engaging. He had all the answers to my questions ( and I had lots of 😄). I could not recommend it more especially if you’re looking for and experience where you got at your own pace without rush . Thanks Mohamed !

This is a quick 3-4 hours...
This is a quick 3-4 hours excursion to see two of the most popular attractions in Aswan. But not that much to see at the high dam, so more time is better spent at the Philae Temple.

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!

Wonderful exploration of...
Wonderful exploration of Aswan major sites. Our guide Zak was the best guide we’ve had on our Egypt trip so far. Extremely knowledgeable, excellent English (he was concerned about this but his language skills were great). He pointed out all the details we would have missed on our own. Transit and other details of the tour were as expected.

When to visit

The Aswan High Dam is a must for engineering buffs.
The dam is accessible to wheelchairs and strollers.
While the dam offers great views of the river and lake, the best spot from which to see the dam itself is located about half a mile (0.8 kilometers) downstream.
Photos are allowed, but telephoto lenses are prohibited. Avoid photographing the dam’s military installments.
