Itinerary

Full-Day Aswan City Tour

 

Your day starts with a relaxed morning pickup from your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan. Settle into your private air-conditioned vehicle and meet your expert Egyptologist guide, ready to show you the highlights of this peaceful southern city.    

 

Cross the Nile by motorboat to reach Philae Island, home to one of Egypt’s most enchanting temples. Dedicated to Isis, the goddess of love and healing, the temple is beautifully set among the river's granite boulders,  a peaceful place where ancient myths still echo.    

 

After that, you’ll head to the famous High Dam, one of Egypt’s great modern landmarks,  and learn how it helped shape the country’s future by controlling the Nile River.    

 

Then, explore the Unfinished Obelisk, still lying in the stone quarries where it was carved thousands of years ago. It gives a close look at how the ancient Egyptians built their giant monuments.    

 

Enjoy lunch at a quality local restaurant before your driver takes you back to your hotel or cruise. You’ll end the day with a deeper understanding of Aswan, a city that bridges past and present with calm, color, and culture.

Great service, professional staff, quick response, and very comfortable vehicles I would like to sincerely thank the entire team for the excellent service and professional treatment throughout my experience with them. I truly appreciated the high quality of the service, the excellent condition of the vehicles, and most importantly, the quick response and the professionalism of your staff during the service. Thank you all for your great support and for making the experience smooth and pleasant. I highly appreciate your efforts and look forward to using your service again in the future. One small suggestion would be to keep the prices a little more reasonable and competitive. 😊 Thank you once again and keep up the great work!

Best travel agency This review is a true evidence to the great experience and happiness I had with this company. Honestly I've never dealt with people like the team at Respect Tours. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming especially Mr. David Asaad who is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. He is very kind easy to get along with and has a big heart. His professionalism was outstanding and he is also a great leader with confidence and knowledge I would also like to give a special thanks to our driver Mohsen. He was very friendly helpful and professional throughout our trips and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. I truly thank the wonderful Respect Tours team and wish them continued success and all the best.

Wonderful services - Respect Tour via Novotel Borg / Cairo Exceptional Support and Professionalism - Respect Tours - Novotel El Borg / Cairo I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Achraf Zaki and his colleague Ayman for their outstanding professionalism, kindness and dedication. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely confident and well taken care of. They took the time to understand our expectations and helped us choose the best options to discover and enjoy this wonderful city of Cairo in auguste 2026. Their professionalism, availability and warm attitude truly made a difference and contributed to making our stay even more enjoyable. We will certainly return to the same hotel on our next visit to Cairo, and it will be a real pleasure to have the opportunity to contact Mr. Achraf Zaki and Ayman again. Thank you both for your excellent support and for helping us create such wonderful memories of Cairo. We truly appreciate it! 🌟
