A beautiful tranquil city, with magnificent views over the Nile. The old city is delightful, the older hotels incredible, especially the Old Cataract hotel, which nowadays does a brisk trade in serving wonderful afternoon tea on a series of cascading terraces below the lovely heritage building.
It’s a city that offers so much history, much to see and do. The city itself is scruffy, full of life, full of beauty and kindly local people, both Egyptian and Nubian.
An unmissable spot, especially at dusk or dawn, is Philae temple, on a relocated and rebuilt island that protected the beautiful Pharonic temple from the rising waters of the Nile after the New Aswan dam was built.
The dam itself is hugely interesting , holding back the waters of the Nile into enormous Lake Nasser, which drowned so many millennia old sites.
If you get the opportunity to visit Egypt, put Aswan as a must see, and wearing comfortable shoes, just go!

We enjoyed a nice tour with our guide Ahmed Sony in the afternoon.
He pick us up from hotel, then travel via a small boat to island. Entrance tickets can be paid also by card.
Ahmed offers us a free drink and a lot of stories about the temple. He answer to all our questions. Really nice tour

Great tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide (Abdul). An absolute must see if you’re in Aswan. Would recommend the private tour over the group one.

What a great time in Philae temple. Thanks to Waleed adnan for all the explanations and stories. He is for sure the best guide you can find. And thanks Marina and Donia for all help and support they gave to us.

We went on a tour today to Philae with Mohamad Hafany who was very nice and friendly.
He was very easy to get on with, did apologise to us if his English wasn't perfect and dropped us off at Nubian Museum as requested. He showed us around the temple explaining its history and left us plenty of time to explore. The boat ride over too was wonderful.
We also had Marina keeping track that we had been met by the guide which was very nice. The only reason I have rated four stars is we were never provided with water which would have been nice as it was very hot on the day.

Our experience was good all in all but it could have been better if we had had more time to enjoy the site, while from time to time we were under the impression that the guide was rushing us.
