What you'll see and do
Monastery of St. Simeon
Discover one of the best monuments in Aswan The ruins of the old Christian monastery, the largest ancient Coptic architecture complex in Egypt, known as the monastery of St. Simeon, are located in the Aswan desert, in 700 meters from the west bank of the Nile, opposite to the island of Elephantine. Coptic and Arabic historical sources are calling this monastery as the monastery of Anba-Hatra (Hidra, Hadri). The name of St. Simeon was given to this place much later. This is the last name, by which the monastery is known until our days, but the history of it's renaming is lost in the centuries. The Holy Hatra was an anchorite, consecrated by the bishop of Aswan Patriarch Theophilus (385-412) and who died in the time of Emperor Theodosius I (379-395). Whether the monastic settlement in this area existed before these times is unknown, but the wall paintings found in the rock caves under the brick ruins, date them by the VI-VII centenary.

Private Haif Day Tour to the Monastery of St.Simeon in Aswan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Private Haif Day Tour to the Monastery of St.Simeon in Aswan cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Private Haif Day Tour to the Monastery of St.Simeon in Aswan take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Private Haif Day Tour to the Monastery of St.Simeon in Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Private Haif Day Tour to the Monastery of St.Simeon in Aswan?
+
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 Private Haif Day Tour to the Monastery of St.Simeon in Aswan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Haif Day Tour to the Monastery of St.Simeon in Aswan?
+
Around 0 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Haif Day Tour to the Monastery of St.Simeon in Aswan 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&Abu Simbel+Balloon, 4-Day Nile Cruise sails Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel.Hot air 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.
