    A great Egypt travel company with a great and helpful owner

    Aqua Egypt is run by Sayed, and he is the best contact in Egypt to arrange tours. I recommend booking any trips in Egypt with Aqua Egypt. The trip to Aswan is a long day and a lot to fit in. A guide met us at Aswan and was very informative and interesting throughout our time, especially at the Philae Temple. Later, Sayed organised a private Sunset Cruise in a Felucca boat, which was a dwefinite highlight of our trp to Egypt. Today, at the drop of a hat, Sayed organised another private trip to the Tombs of The Nobles with a car and guide. About travel, Sayed is so knowledgeable, flexible, and is just a genuinely nice person.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your support And for your time and interest in leaving review I really appreciate it a lot I hope to see you again All the best to you all Greetings, kind regards

    Stunning!!

    This is a five star tour with a five star guide. It’s a long day and there’s a lot to see but the experience you will have is totally worth the 12 hour tour. The guide was incredibly knowledgable and patient and had excellent English. A lot of time is spent in the car but it is a comfortable ride and the guide keeps you entertained. The food in Aswan was probably the best I’ve had on my vacation. Aswan has some of the most beautiful temples I saw on my vacation.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for nice word really thes make mee happy ihobe too see you soon again thanks alot

    Personalize full day tour

    Mohammed Minneapolis, Minnesota We are family for three took a private tour from Luxor to Aswan. Tour coordinator Sayed from Aqua Egypt Tour came to our hotel day before and explained the literary. He arranged a private car, driver and guides for Edfu temple, Nubian village and Philae temple tours. He also arranged lunch in a restaurant with nice view. Driver and guides were excellent. WE REALLY HAVE GOOD TIME. On the way back guide took to Aswan train station and explain the train ticket and seat number. When we returned Luxor, Sayed picked up from the train station and drop off our hotel. BEST THING ABOUT AQUA EGYPT TOUR AND COORDINATOR SAYED; HE KEPT TOUCH WITH US ALL THE TIMES AND ASKED OUR CONCERN AND OFFER HELP IF WE NEEDED. I highly recommend Aqua Egypt tour and coordinator Sayed for anyone including my friends and family members.

    Response from the operator: Thank you sir See you very 🙏🙏❤

    Personalized service full of warmth

    We are a family of three and took a private day tour to Aswan. The tor operator, Sayed, and the guide, Ahmed, are amazingly warm and genuine people. They gave us the options of what we would like to see and provided their own recommendations too that made our choice easier. Ahmed is pretty knowledgeable and well traveled while Sayed makes sure that even the smallest of your needs are catered too. We wanted some healthy snacks so they took us to a shop having nuts and fruits. The lunch place was an elegant restaurant in the middle of river Nile and the food was delicious. Highly recommend them as you can’t go wrong with these guys!

    Response from the operator: Thank you sir See you very soon 🙏🙏❤

    Discover Aswan on a Full-Day Trip from Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Discover Aswan on a Full-Day Trip from Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Discover Aswan on a Full-Day Trip from Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 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 Luxor is not rushed.

    Is Discover Aswan on a Full-Day Trip from Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Aswan on a Full-Day Trip from Luxor?

    +

    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 Discover Aswan on a Full-Day Trip from Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Discover Aswan on a Full-Day Trip from Luxor?

    +

    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 Luxor 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 Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Discover Aswan on a Full-Day Trip from Luxor 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 Luxor 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 Luxor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Private Half day Tour to West bank. 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 Luxor?

    +

    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 Luxor?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Discover Aswan on a Full-Day Trip from Luxor?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Lunch; pickup and drop-off Door to Door; Qualified Egyptologist guide; and Entrance fees to Temples. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Discover Aswan on a Full-Day Trip from Luxor include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
