Overview

A private full-Day Trip to Aswan from Cairo by Flight with hotel pickup, your own Egyptologist guide and entrance fees included.

  1. Pickup & Airport Transfer:
    • Early morning pickup from your hotel in Cairo by our representative to catch your domestic flight to Aswan.
    • Upon arrival at Aswan Airport, your private Egyptologist tour guide will be waiting for you, holding a sign with your name.
  2. Philae Temple:
    • Discover the magnificent Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Learn about the legendary myths of Isis and Osiris while exploring this stunning Greco-Roman temple complex.
    • Note: The temple was meticulously relocated to Agilkia Island to save it from the Nile floodwaters following the construction of the High Dam.
  3. The High Dam:

  4. The Unfinished Obelisk:
    • Explore the largest ancient obelisk ever found, still attached to the bedrock in the granite quarries. This site offers fascinating insights into how ancient Egyptian stone masons worked with simple tools to carve colossal monuments.
  5. Felucca Ride on the Nile:
    • Enjoy a relaxing and scenic sail on a traditional Egyptian felucca around the picturesque Aghakhan and Elephantine Islands.
  6. Return to Cairo:

Good to know

When is the best time to visit Egypt?

October to April is the most comfortable time, with warm days and cool evenings, so it is also the busiest and highest-priced season. May to September is hot, especially in Luxor and Aswan, but sights are quieter and prices are lower. We plan summer days around early starts and a long midday break. Christmas and New Year sell out early.

What is included in the price?

Each trip lists exactly what is included and what is not. In general our prices include private transport, a private Egyptologist guide, entrance fees for the listed sites, hotels or cruise as described, and the meals shown. International flights, visas, tips, drinks and optional extras are not included.

Are your trips private or in a group?

All our trips are private: just you and the people you travel with, your own guide and your own driver. You never share a vehicle or a guide with strangers. Nile cruise ships are shared with other guests, but your sightseeing on shore is private.

Is Egypt a good trip for children?

Yes. Children love the pyramids, felucca sails and the Red Sea. Children aged 2 to 11 pay 50% of the adult price on most trips, and under-2s travel free. Tell us their ages and we will plan shorter visits, pool time and family rooms.

Can you plan a slower pace or help with limited mobility?

Yes. Because every trip is private, we can plan shorter days, more rest and fewer stairs. Some ancient sites have uneven ground and steps, so please tell us about any mobility needs when you ask for a quote and we will be honest about what is practical.

How does tipping work in Egypt?

Tipping is part of daily life in Egypt and is not included in our prices. Small tips for drivers, guides, cruise crews and hotel staff are customary; your planner will send you a simple guide with typical amounts before you travel, so you are never left guessing.

Can I reach you on WhatsApp during my trip?

Yes. Once you book, you get a WhatsApp number for your planner and a local contact on the ground. Message us any time during your trip if something needs changing.
