Private Aswan Tours

Explore Aswan with a licensed Egyptologist, private air-conditioned vehicle and flexible sightseeing — from Philae Temple and the High Dam to Nubian villages, felucca sailing and Abu Simbel.

Egypt's Southern Gateway

The Nile at its most beautiful

Our private Aswan tours explore the city's ancient monuments, Nubian heritage and the southern landscapes of the Nile with your own licensed Egyptologist and private air-conditioned transportation.

Discover Philae Temple on its island, the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk, or experience Nubian culture and a traditional felucca sailing trip. Aswan is also the natural starting point for Abu Simbel excursions and many Nile cruise itineraries.

Whether you have one day or several, we can build your Aswan experience around the sites and activities that matter most to you, with a comfortable pace and private service throughout.

Best time to visit

When to go

October through April is generally the most comfortable period for sightseeing in Aswan, with cooler temperatures and pleasant conditions for outdoor visits.

December through February is particularly popular for Nile travel and sightseeing. During the warmer months, early morning starts are recommended for outdoor attractions and longer excursions.

Abu Simbel visits require an early start from Aswan, whether traveling by road or by flight, so the exact departure time should be planned around the confirmed transportation schedule.

Travel tips

Good to know

  • Abu Simbel is a very early excursion from Aswan, so plan for an early departure and a light breakfast if needed.
  • For felucca trips, confirm the duration and route in advance so the experience matches your schedule.
  • Bring sun protection, comfortable walking shoes and a light layer for cooler evenings on the Nile.
  • Philae Temple is reached by motorboat, so allow additional time for the boat transfer before and after the visit.
  • If visiting a Nubian village, modest and comfortable clothing is recommended.
  • For longer sightseeing days, carry water and keep some time available for rest between visits.
