What travelers are saying

"My friend and I booked a 12-day/11-night trip to Cairo through Kemet vacations our representative Samy met us at the airport and guided us through customs and took us to our hotel in Cairo, Steigenberger, as was a very good Hotel for accommodation it was looking over the Egyptian museum, and every night we were walking around downtown for dinner and chill out m Samy usually was check with us about anything we need and check tour program day by day to give usually information do we shall need, it was a very good guy, thanks Samy Our guide Raouf was wonderful as I wrote an excellent review of him he was so nice gentleman was a most beautiful way of explaining the sights and the History, indeed he knows about his Country very well. Our cruise north on the Nile River on the Ms. Blue shadow was beautiful. It was a perfect cruise ship with a very friendly staff. In Aswan where we started our cruise, our guide engy met us at the airport and accompanied us up the Nile to Aswan. As an egyptologist and archeologist, she was a store of information. I know we could not see everything, but what we did see was awesome. Specially Abu Simple temple and the place at the end of Nasser Lake and the Nile it was so excellent experience and a totally great trip!!!!! Egypt is a must-do vacation."

What travelers are saying

"First time we (mom and daughter) have done a tour and first time with on the go tours. What a special trip we had doing the 13 day Casablanca to Essaouira Morocco tour (26 Nov - 6 Dec 2023). We started the first 8 days doing the totally Morocco tour and the last few days at our own pace with down time in Essaouira. Jamal our guide led the tour from start to finish and took us safely on a culture filled journey. His knowledge of the country, it’s history and people was informative and inspiring. Every request was “no problem” and delivered with a smile and happy demeanour. Everything in Morrocco was “no problem” and we felt safe and looked after. We were driven in a comfortable coach with enough stops along the way to not feel long by our competent driver Suleman. The hotels, Riad and Dar were extremely comfortable with exceptional service. We would not have had the same experience travelling on our own, we felt as though we truly experienced Morocco. Everything was a highlight for us and we will definitely book another on the go tour in the future. If you wanting to see true Morocco we would strongly recommend doing this tour."

Aswan Tour Selection Trips

  • There is a broad range of activities to take part in during your time in Aswan. Make sure to experience everything Aswan has to offer, from Egyptian history, to Nubian culture, to its more typical vacation activities: boat riding and fine dining.
  • If you booked a tour that begins in Aswan (most Nile river cruises usually do), but flew into Cairo, there is a comfortable sleeper train that runs between the two cities. Consider taking this option.
  • The word “baksheesh” means tip. Be aware that locals will request one of you for a multitude of reasons, typically “friendly” behavior, such as helping direct you somewhere.
  • Although Aswan is not known for its wildlife, the botanical gardens are a great way to take a break from the desert landscape, and see beautiful plants as well as many different kinds of birds.

Additional details

Aswan Weather & When to Visit

When is the best time to visit Aswan? For most people, this question depends on the weather, and more specifically, it depends on how well you can tolerate the heat.

Weather in Aswan fluctuates based on season, with the coolest time period being between December and January (where temperatures average around 70 degrees Fahrenheit), and the hottest in between June and July (where it averages over 104 degrees Fahrenheit each day).

Of course, prime tourist season fall between September and January, so if your primary objective is avoiding the crowds, maybe consider visiting during the offseason. If this is your plan, just be prepared to do most of your sightseeing in the early morning and evenings. However, be prepared: in March through May, there are frequent khamaseen winds, which cause frequent dust and sand storms.

Another thing that should be taken into consideration when planning a trip to Aswan (and Egypt in general) is Ramadan. Ramadan is the Muslim holy month of fasting, and as it follows the Islamic calendar, changes year to year.

During Ramadan, most Egyptians do not eat or drink throughout the day, and as a result there are not many cafés and restaurants open. Banks and other shops are usually closed for the much of the day as well.

Aswan Facts

  • The city has become an important center for hydroelectric power in Egypt since the Aswan Dam was built 1960.
  • Aswan is called “Syene” or “Seveneh” in the Bible, and is characterized as the Southern point of Egypt.
  • The city has historically been a center of trade, during ancient times it was especially known for its exports of ivory, gold, and camels.
  • Aswan is also known for its many ancient quarry sites. Many obelisks, shrines, and statues were carved out of granite from Aswan.
  • One of Aswan’s most famous features is Elephant Island. This island was named for its large boulders (which resemble elephants), and was a base for exploration of central Africa during the reign of Ptolemaic Period. Excavations have revealed hundreds of rare antiquities from this island, and most are housed in the Nubian Museum located on the island.
  • The Camel Market of Daraw is one of the largest in the world, and is only a short distance from Aswan (20km).
