I wasnt getting pickup from airport. And my dropoff should be arranged instead of paying the driver myself again.
It all worked out fine. Our guide did his best. Aswan is a beautiful city. Thank you
Reasonable half day tour of some of the secondary sites in Aswan. School was interesting at Nubian Village, otherwise just a tourist trap, full of shops. Guide was pleasant and quite informative. Took around 3.5 hours. However, there was no felucca ride - guide said it was not available! I complained afterwards and was offered a separate felucca ride later next morning but we had other plans. If you are booking the trip I would confirm you are getting everything listed.
Great time and great guide! Mostafa was very knowledgeable. The tour operator in charge of managing things was great working with us when our plans changed. We were still able to visit plenty of sites. We also did the Nile cruise with temple visits. Mostafa was a great guide and has a lot of history to share about ancient Egypt.

This tour was a truly wonderful and peaceful experience. From the moment we set off on the motor boat along the Nile, everything felt calm and serene. The views along the river were absolutely beautiful—such a perfect way to take in the natural scenery and enjoy the quiet charm of Aswan. Visiting the Nubian Village was a highlight. The people there were so friendly and welcoming, and it was fascinating to learn about their culture, see their colorful homes, and experience their way of life up close. It felt genuine and enriching without being rushed. The stop at the Botanical Island was equally relaxing. The gardens were lush and full of interesting plants, making it a lovely place to walk around and unwind. The peaceful setting, surrounded by greenery and the gentle sounds of the river, was just what we needed. Overall, this tour is a perfect mix of culture and nature. It’s a must-do if you’re looking for a calm and enjoyable way to explore Aswan. Highly recommended!
