The 10 Best Cultural Tours in Aswan, Nile River Valley

January 9, 2022 Weston Hennigan

Aswan is more idyllic than other cities in Egypt—located in southern Egypt, it’s a great place to explore that country’s epic history far away from the chaos of Cairo. Take a traditional wooden felucca around Elephantine Island and explore the ruins of the Temple of Khnum. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

We had great experience from the start, booking the tour with Hany was so easy, with full information and details of the cruise and tour, the time and places we will visit from luxor to aswan. During the 4d3n trip, we were guided by Mostafa. Mostafa is very knowledgeable with the Egyptian ancient history , also he is very helpful during the whole duration of the trip. It was a unforgettable moment in Egypt having Mostafa as our tour guide, many fun moments while learning about Egyptian ancient history. We highly recommend imperial Egypt cruise and to have Mostafa as your tour guide.

We had a great experience in Egypt with our guides Mohammed in Cairo, and Rocky (Ragab) in Aswan and Luxor. Both were very knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian history, and modern culture. They spoke great English and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend them, along with Explore Plus to anyone interested in seeing the real Egypt.

Such a huge complex, great place to explore! We spent about two hours walking around and enjoying the site. Even if there are busloads of people, you can see everything well. If somebody ask to take your photo with your camera or give you a tour, you will be asked for a tip, you can kindly say no.

It was a great experience. They picked us up at 3:30 from our cruise ship docked on the east side of the river. Then we were taken to the takeoff site where we watched the preparation od the balloons. Flew over Hatshepsut temple, Valley of the Kings etc and stopped for the sunrise over thr Nile. We were floating at over 700 m above the ground. The flight took around 50 minutes. Then we were driven back to the ship. Great! Totally recommend!
