Mohamed Arabi is the birding tour guide you should ask for.

Phillip_M, Oct 2025

Mr. Mohamed Arabi is an excellent birding tour guide. He has fifty years experience having grown up in Aswan. He is very polite and knowledgeable. Additionally his father was a master gardener for Aswan. Consequently Mohamed knows nearly every plant and tree by name. A real gentleman. We highly recommend his birding service to you.

Enjoyed it very much

Fantastic trip on the Nile in Aswan with a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide! Saw owls, blue kingfishers and other not normally seen birds. Peaceful, pleasant afternoon. You should bring your own binoculars if you want to see birds closeup. Also, the times listed on Viator are wrong. In the winter period the tour should start at 3 pm, not 4 pm as listed. Finally, the tour is listed as in a falouca boat - in reality it’s a motorboat,

The guide was very knowledgeable and patient. He worked with the boat captain to reposition the boat for a better photo angle. Spotted and photographed many “lifers” on the trip. Thank you for arranging a wonderful birding trip.
