Private Day Trips in Aswan

Discover the Nile-side temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu on a private day trip from Aswan. With an Egyptologist guide, journey north to Kom Ombo Temple, dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and falcon-headed god Horus. Admire the stone columns, forecourt and sanctuaries, and unravel their history with your guide. After an included boxed lunch, continue to Edfu, a large cult temple to Horus. See the large pylon, court and other chambers as your guide unveils their secrets. Afterward, return to Aswan or choose an optional hotel drop-off in Luxor.

Visit Abu Simbel Temple Complex and Lake Nasser on a 10-hour, private tour by minibus from Aswan that includes hotel pickup and drop-off, entrance fees, and three hours to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learn the story of Ramses II and his wife Nefertari, and about the global effort to relocate the temples after their original location was submerged by Lake Nasser. This private, guided tour can accommodate your group of up to 15 people.

Discover the Nubian monuments of Abu Simbel and visit a small Nubian village on an 8-hour, private tour from Aswan that includes entrance fees and round-trip transport from your Aswan hotel. Visit a pair of temples carved from the mountainside in the 13th century BC, then learn about Nubian life and culture in a traditional community. This private, full-day tour accommodates your group of up to 8 people, with an early departure to take advantage of the cooler morning hours.
