Aswan Day Tours questions, answered
Can't find your answer? Ask us directly and we will reply with a clear answer, not a sales pitch.
Ask on WhatsAppHow many days do I need in Aswan?
Two days are enough for the main sights. Day one: the Philae temple, the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk in about four hours, then the Nubian village by motorboat in the afternoon. Day two: Abu Simbel by private car, about 9.5 hours. A third day fits Kalabsha and the Nubian Museum.
How do I get to Abu Simbel from Aswan?
By private car with your own guide: the Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan takes about 9.5 hours, costs from $90 per person and includes hotel pickup, the air-conditioned car, the guide and entrance tickets. A 12-hour version is timed for the Sun Festival, when the sun lights the inner sanctuary.
Is Abu Simbel worth the day trip from Aswan?
For most travellers, yes: the two rock temples of Ramses II and Nefertari are the largest monuments in southern Egypt and are not on the Nile cruise route. The private day from Aswan takes about 9.5 hours, costs from $90 per person and includes the car, your guide and the tickets, so the early start is the only real cost.
What does the Nubian village tour include?
A private afternoon of about four hours from $70 per person: pickup from your hotel or cruise ship, a motorboat past Elephantine Island and the First Cataract to a Nubian village on the West Bank, tea in a Nubian home, a walk through the painted lanes and the ride back at sunset. Lunch is not included.
Can I visit Luxor from Aswan in one day?
Yes, as a long private day of about 14.5 hours from $145 per person. You travel by air-conditioned car with your Egyptologist, visit the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon on the West Bank, have lunch, then see Karnak and Luxor Temple before the drive back.
