We booked this tour...
We booked this tour because Kalabsha needed advanced permission to visit. Our guide, Samuel, arrived on time and took us through the army security check point to reach the port serving Kalabsha. We then took a today to New Kalabsha Island. Daniel warned us not to put our hand in the water as we were in lake Nausea which has crocodiles. We arrived at the island and were greeted by a dog. Daniel told us that he was a sad dog because a crocodile took his partner when she went for a drink one day. The tour was fantastic, we had the island almost to ourselves. Daniel was a proper guide, a refreshing change from the guides we experienced in Cairo. He took us around the site giving detailed explanations about what we were seeing. He then left us alone to take photographs and take in the wonder of the site. I can not emphasize enough how good our guide was and what a fantastic morning we had visiting temples very few tourists get to see. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your detailed and wonderful review ❤️ We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Kalabsha Temple and that the entire experience exceeded your expectations. This site is indeed one of Egypt’s hidden treasures, and we are very happy that you had the chance to discover it in such a special way. Samuel will be very pleased to hear your kind words. We are proud to work with passionate guides who love sharing the history and beauty of Egypt while giving guests the time to fully enjoy the sites at their own pace. Thank you as well for highlighting the organization and smooth handling of the permits and transportation. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again soon for more unique and unforgettable experiences in Egypt 🇪🇬✨

Private Temple Tour in Kalabsha: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Private Temple Tour in Kalabsha cost?
+
Prices start at $37 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 Temple Tour in Kalabsha 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 Temple Tour in Kalabsha worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Temple Tour in Kalabsha?
+
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 Temple Tour in Kalabsha 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 Temple Tour in Kalabsha?
+
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 Temple Tour in Kalabsha 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.
What is included in Private Temple Tour in Kalabsha?
+
Included: official permission; In-vehicle air conditioning; private motor boat to visit the temple on the island; and Guide. Not included: Entrance fees; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Temple Tour in Kalabsha include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 27 listed pickup locations in and around Aswan. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Private Temple Tour in Kalabsha offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Temple Tour in Kalabsha?
+
