A great tour.

Published on Apr, 2023

Our guide, Ms Makeola, demonstrated an encyclopedic knowledge through out the visit to the three sites which in themselves are fascinating. Her English ability is very impressive and enhanced our understanding the history of the sites. This tour should be included in any travels to Aswan.

Memorable Tour

Published on Dec, 2021

In all, our tour was wonderful. Our tour guide Maggie was wonderful and very informative. The High Dam might not be the biggest dam in the world, but to see the artificial lake in the middle of the desert was just stunning. The Philae Temple is beautiful. The boat ride was short but a nice experience. The Unfinished obelisk is a different story. By itself, it might not be very attractive (that would explained why not all tours offer it) but in the context of human history-around 1508-1458 BC, it is simply amazing.
