    We were late, but they were great

    Our cruise boat was 7 1/2 hours late in arriving at Aswan, but we experienced our complete tour as if nothing had happened. These folks were great in staying in touch with us over WhatsApp and being ready for our excursion as soon as they boat docked our guide, Mary, was friendly, polite, and gracious. We didn’t feel like we missed anything. The felucca ride back to our cruise boat at twilight was very relaxing and provided a beautiful end to what could’ve been a very trying day. These folks define the word hospitality with their care.

    Safari in Hurghada and trip in Luxor

    Me and my friend went on the Egypt tour in Luxor and Safari in Hurghada with Egypt Sansimon Travel and Tourism in this september. We were honestly surprised by how much we were able to see and do for the amount we paid - it far exceeded our expectations. Our trip was of a great value and we had a really fantastic experience. Safari experience was unique. Luxor - Valley of Kings, boat trip on Nile, Temple of Luxor and Karnak Temple impressed us very much. The company customer service is great and staff have a very nice and friendly approach! Mister Sameh has been doing a great job responding to our questions in a timely manner and assisting us to get the information we need. He was very friendly and fun, a very good and professional tour guide that knows everything about Egypt. The car was very clean, had air conditioner and was luxurious. Driver was very friendly too and a gentleman. Each time we were going in or out the car, he was opening the door. Plus, he was driving with care. Overall, i have only good words to say about mister Sameh's company and his driver Michael. I highly recommend this company!

    Response from the operator: Hello Irina , Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback. Our priority is customer experience and we are ecstatic that we met that mark! Kind folks like you make our job a pleasure. Kind regards, Sameh Faragallah Atito, Egypt Sansimon Travel and Toursim

    The best travel agency in Egypt

    Sameh is the best and most honest travel agent I have ever met in Egypt. We have been using his services throughout Egypt for 3 years. He is punctual, respectful and has fair prices. As a tour guide he always gave us great information that you don't often find on the internet. My family and friends thank you for your great services....

    Exceptional guest service, trustworthy, on time, high quality at a good price.

    Sameh and his team are highly professional, helpful and accomodating guests wishes on the fly. All appointments were met punctial as a Swiss clock. Communication and reachability over the top. We have used their great service for a whole day trip from Luxor to Assuan, a day tour in Assuan and an 8h drive to El Quseir. Great service, guiding, good driver with clean car, water always available, stops as we desired. And all for a very ressonable cost! Compliments!!

    Day Tour in Aswan Philae Temple High Dam and Felucca Nile Cruise: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.

    How much does Day Tour in Aswan Philae Temple High Dam and Felucca Nile Cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 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 Day Tour in Aswan Philae Temple High Dam and Felucca Nile Cruise take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Day Tour in Aswan Philae Temple High Dam and Felucca Nile Cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Day Tour in Aswan Philae Temple High Dam and Felucca Nile Cruise?

    +

    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 Day Tour in Aswan Philae Temple High Dam and Felucca Nile Cruise suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day Tour in Aswan Philae Temple High Dam and Felucca Nile Cruise?

    +

    Around 1 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day Tour in Aswan Philae Temple High Dam and Felucca Nile Cruise 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.
