Great Tour Guide

via Tripadvisor
Ahmed is a great person...
Ahmed is a great person who tried his best to make everything better. He picked us up from the hotel and got the philea temple done right before closing but it was done with absolutely nobody there so was enjoyable. This trip was well worth it

Philae Temple
Today I had the pleasure of experiencing Philae Temple with Mohammed Abdo. He is a real expert with deep knowledge. He explained the story of this temple in a cheerful and interesting manner. I wish him all the the best!

Philae con abdu
The most important part of the tour is Philae, where my friend Mohammed Abdo told me the story of how the entire temple was moved. The explanation was excellent. If you do this tour, I recommend doing it in the morning; it gets very hot in the afternoon.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Private Aswan & Abu Simbel Tour with Lunch & Philae Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does 2-Day Private Aswan & Abu Simbel Tour with Lunch & Philae Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $181 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Private Aswan & Abu Simbel Tour with Lunch & Philae Temple take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aswan is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Private Aswan & Abu Simbel Tour with Lunch & Philae Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Private Aswan & Abu Simbel Tour with Lunch & Philae Temple?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Day Private Aswan & Abu Simbel Tour with Lunch & Philae Temple suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Private Aswan & Abu Simbel Tour with Lunch & Philae Temple?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aswan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Private Aswan & Abu Simbel Tour with Lunch & Philae Temple start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aswan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Aswan?
+
On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Aswan?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Aswan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
