Where in Egypt do you look for tranquility and a boat to reach both a temple and a village? Here in Aswan, life runs along the Nile at an easy pace, and the Aswan tours on this page are planned the same way. Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime trip in only six hours, with a private Egyptologist guide and an AC car from your hotel or Nile cruise boat. No rushing, and no big group to keep up with. If it’s your first time, start here. Among the Aswan tours on this page, the Private Tour to visit the Highlights of Aswan is what you need for a classic Aswan city tour, if you’re a first-timer in the city. You’ll stand on the High Dam, finished in 1970, with Lake Nasser running south behind it. You’ll look down at the Unfinished Obelisk, 42 metres of granite that cracked before it left the quarry (so yes, bad days at work are about 3,500 years old). And you’ll finish with a motorboat ride to Philae Temple, the temple of the goddess Isis, moved block by block to Agilkia Island in a UNESCO rescue finished in 1980. But if you like a slower pace, then the Half-Day Tour to Philae Temple & Nubian Village is the best choice for you, where you still get the temples, but will swap the Aswan High Dam for the tranquil Nubian village and its fabulously painted houses. If you have a second day in Aswan, it’ll be even better. Fewer groups make it to Kalabsha, a Roman-era temple on the shore of Lake Nasser that you also reach by boat. Thus we encourage you to book the Half-Day Tour to Kalabsha Temple & Nubian Museum as it pairs with the Nubian Museum, a special way to tour Aswan beyond the usual itineraries. And you don’t have to stop at the city limits. Many Aswan Egypt tours carry on to Abu Simbel, about 280 km south and around three and a half hours each way by road, or to Kom Ombo Temple, roughly an hour north. If Luxor is next on your list, the Aswan / Luxor Highlights tour takes you there, and our Luxor day tours and Nile cruises pick up the route from that point. So have a look through the Aswan tours listed here and pick the pace that suits you. If you’d like a stop swapped or added, just say so. We’re happy to change it.
