Enjoy lunch at a Nile-view restaurant featuring traditional Egyptian cuisine. Afterward, rejoin your guide for the final stop of the day.

Day 2: Aswan’s Iconic Landmarks
In the morning, your private tour guide will pick you up from your Aswan hotel to explore the city’s key attractions.

The Unfinished Obelisk
