Ting å gjøre i Aswan

I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights because of my schedule, but if time had permitted, I would have extended it to 4 days and 3 nights to visit Abu Simbel as well. Going on tours during the day and then lying back on the rooftop from around lunchtime, tanning, drinking beverages, and enjoying the view is simply the best. Even if you aren't fluent in English, the dedicated staff member takes care of you constantly via WhatsApp (this was the absolute best part; they reached out to me first every single day from the day before boarding until the end, asking if anything was uncomfortable and resolving any issues immediately). The guide might be hit or miss, but I was extremely satisfied.

Abu Simbel is breathtaking, the colossi of Ramesses II are massive, and we had them almost to ourselves because we left Aswan at 4 in the morning. The guide told wonderful stories about relocating the temple. A private air-conditioned car was a great choice in such heat.

Jeg er generelt fornøyd. Både guiden og koordinatoren var veldig hyggelige. Jeg satte stor pris på den raske responsen i forkant av turen. Jeg skulle imidlertid ønske at timeplanen hadde vært litt mer detaljert. Hvis jeg hadde visst at det var tid til å utforske byene Aswan på dag 1 og Luxor på dag 3, ville jeg nok ha brukt tiden mer meningsfullt. Det var synd at guidene varierte i kvalitet, og at det én gang var en transport med hestevogn der det ble krevd mer tips enn gjennomsnittet.

The Aswan High Dam was a very interesting stop, and the guide explained its history and importance to us. The cruise was comfortable, the food was good, and the crew was very friendly. An unforgettable trip along the Nile.
