We had an incredible day touring Aswan! The pickup was right on time, and everything flowed smoothly from start to finish. Our first stop was the Aswan High Dam (La Represa de Asuán), an impressive feat of engineering with stunning views of Lake Nasser. Next, we visited the Temple of Philae, beautifully located on an island — a magical and well-preserved site with rich history dedicated to the goddess Isis. From there, we went to the Unfinished Obelisk, which gave us a fascinating glimpse into ancient Egyptian stonework and the sheer scale of their ambition. After that, we enjoyed a peaceful stroll through the Botanical Garden on Kitchener's Island — a lush paradise of exotic plants and palms. We ended our day with a visit to the Nubian Village, where we shared a delicious local lunch, explored the vibrant culture, and were warmly welcomed by the community. It was the perfect closing to a full and unforgettable day.

It was a wonderful time doing this tour. Our guide Heba did a wonderful job. She showed and explained every little detail of Assuan to us. We understood everything and we learned a lot of new things from her regarding the history and tradition of Assuan and Egypt. I would totally recommend it and especially ask for Heba! 10/10!

This was one of the most enjoyable tours I've had, our tour guide Mido explained everything really well and answered all our questions in detail. At the end we had enough time to take it all in and take photos. We also had a very pleasant driver. I would book this trip again and again.
