10 Bus Tours in Aswan That You Shouldn't Miss

May 8, 2022 Renato Branum

Aswan is more idyllic than other cities in Egypt—located in southern Egypt, it’s a great place to explore that country’s epic history far away from the chaos of Cairo. Take a traditional wooden felucca around Elephantine Island and explore the ruins of the Temple of Khnum. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

We had great experience from the start, booking the tour with Hany was so easy, with full information and details of the cruise and tour, the time and places we will visit from luxor to aswan. During the 4d3n trip, we were guided by Mostafa. Mostafa is very knowledgeable with the Egyptian ancient history , also he is very helpful during the whole duration of the trip. It was a unforgettable moment in Egypt having Mostafa as our tour guide, many fun moments while learning about Egyptian ancient history. We highly recommend imperial Egypt cruise and to have Mostafa as your tour guide.

We had a great experience in Egypt with our guides Mohammed in Cairo, and Rocky (Ragab) in Aswan and Luxor. Both were very knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian history, and modern culture. They spoke great English and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend them, along with Explore Plus to anyone interested in seeing the real Egypt.

Such a huge complex, great place to explore! We spent about two hours walking around and enjoying the site. Even if there are busloads of people, you can see everything well. If somebody ask to take your photo with your camera or give you a tour, you will be asked for a tip, you can kindly say no.

We can’t recommend Mina’s tour company more highly! They are very professional, on time, with great information to make your vacation special. They are also very reasonable! It’s not worth the hassle to use any other tour company. To get the most out of your time in Egypt, call Mina, you won’t be disappointed!

The cruise was very well organised and everyone was super helpful and nice. Mohamed messaged me straight after booking and the cruise and made sure I felt welcomed from the go. He was waiting for us when we arrived at the airport and everyone did everything they could to make our life easier; they bought us a SIM card (as we needed one), they stopped at the pharmacy when we needed as well and provided us with water bottles in the van before visiting the temples. They were superb! Our guide, Shady, was amazing! He was really patient (with all the photos we took) and we could tell he was really passionate about the History of the temples we visited. He spoke Portuguese which for us was really good as our mother doesn’t speak English. We loved him and we really appreciate the fact Mohamed went above and beyond to find us a guide who spoke our language and was so knowledgeable. The only thing I would add is that I think the cruise should include at least one water bottle per meal but we knew drinks weren’t included in the cruise, this is just an idea for improvement.
