Какво да правите в Aswan

Времето за трансфер беше много точно, а шофьорът караше усърдно, за да можем да стигнем до храма Абу Симбел преди другите туристически групи. Но всъщност тази частна обиколка вече беше малко по-скъпа от тези на другите местни туристически агенции. На връщане шофьорът дори даде плик на всички, за да поиска бакшиш, което ни накара да се запитаме дали тази цена не е била ол инклузив? Защо все още иска бакшиш от клиентите? Освен това в маршрута не беше посочено, че трябва да се дава бакшиш или дали бакшишът за шофьора е включен.

Mohammed was an excellent guide and explained the temples in Luxor in detail. He also helped us out with recommendations for food and stitched together the stories from Kom Ombo, Edfu and Phillae temples to the temples and tombs of Luxor incredibly well.

We had an amazing day touring Luxor with Ahmed Yossry! From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organized, and stress-free. He showed us not just the famous sites but also the hidden gems that made the experience truly special. Ahmed is incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights throughout the day, bringing the history of Luxor to life in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. On top of that, he made sure we felt safe and comfortable at all times, which made a big difference in enjoying the experience fully. If you’re planning to explore Luxor, we highly recommend Ahmed, he truly made our day unforgettable.

Overall, I am satisfied. The guides and coordinators were mostly very kind. I was very grateful for the quick responses during our prior communications. However, I would have liked a more detailed schedule. If I had known there would be time to explore the cities in Aswan on day 1 and Luxor on day 3, I believe I could have spent my time more productively. It was unfortunate that the quality of the guides varied, and on one occasion, for transportation, we had a carriage transfer where we were asked for a higher-than-average tip.

I was worried about how to meet the guide since it was my first time using this, but I was easily connected with the guide via WhatsApp and had a great time without any worries.
