Tour Overview

You will be picked up by a professional tour guide and drive south past picturesque villages to Aswan. Our first stop will be a modern wonder of technology. Built in the 1950s, the Aswan High Dam brought the Nile’s devastating floods to an end, reclaimed more than 100,000 acres of desert land for agriculture and made further crops possible on an additional 800,000 acres. After lunch at a good local restaurant, we board a motorboat to Philae Island. After the construction of the Aswan Low Dam, it was completely submerged in the Nile but with help of UNESCO, it found a new home on the Island Agilkia. The first structure that greets visitors is the iconic Trajan's Kiosk, built in the 2nd Century AD by the Roman Emperor Trajan. The main structure on the island is the Temple of Isis; the goddess of health, marriage, motherhood, and wisdom. You will visit the temples and the ancient Nilometer. At the end of the tour, you will be brought to your Aswan Hotel (Bed & Breakfast-basis). The next day you will be brought back to your hotel in Al Gouna.

One day Abu Simbel

15-Feb-2022

One of the best outings ever. Our guide Hossam explained everything about the construction and the relocation of the temples. Lake Nasser had an amazing view but the best part was watching the sunrise in the desert.

A day Tour to Aswan from Luxur

23-Dec-2019

Me and my sister did a spontaneous Tour to Egypt, and we booked by Egbride travel a day Tour from Luxor to Aswan. The guidance and willingness to help from the hole team were phenomenal. Specially Kamal was very kind and provided us with the best information to travel to upper Egypt. Thanks to the Team, the tour to Aswan, Abu Simbel, Philae Temple, and the Nubian Village was the best experience we had so far. Our highlight was the Nubian Village. Thank you for your hospitality and see you soon. Miriam F.

We arrived at EGBride at 9.am hoping to book a tour for the same day. Kamal was amazing, he arranged a private tour to the Valley of the Kings for us within an hour! Our guide Shareem was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and passionate about Egyptian history. Would definitely highly recommend this company.
