Upon your arrival in Aswan, you will meet your private Egyptologist tour guide and begin your exciting excursion to Aswan and Abu Simbel. During this day tour, you will visit all of Aswan’s attractions, which include:

The High Dam

Egyptian and Russian hands built this remarkable piece of architecture between 1960 and 1970, designed to control the Nile floodwaters for irrigation and produce hydroelectricity. Consequently, it launched a new era of progress, prosperity, and innovation in Egypt.

The Unfinished Obelisk

Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC), the unfinished obelisk was destined to stand at the entrance of Karnak Temple. Furthermore, the beautiful Philae Temple, constructed between 380 and 362 BC to honor Isis, the deity of motherhood, has preserved the epic myth of Osiris for countless ages.

Philae Temple

Thanks to the mesmerizing Philae Temple, which was built between 380-362 BC to honor Isis, the epic myth of Osiris has survived for infinite ages. Most importantly, UNESCO transported the temple to Agilkia Island in the 1960s as part of a rescue operation along with the Abu Simbel temples.

After the tour, you will have your lunch and then check in at a 5-star hotel in Aswan for the overnight stay.


Day 2: Tour to Abu Simbel Temples

In the morning, you will grab your breakfast boxes, then check out of your hotel and head with your private tour guide to continue your Makadi Bay excursion to Aswan and Abu Simbel on this two-day tour by heading to:

Abu Simbel Temples

Above all, the first Abu Simbel temple is a living example of the grandeur and architectural brilliance created by the vision and hands of Ramses II (1279-1213 BCE) from 1264 BC to 1244 BC. This temple was constructed to immortalize his victorious legacy and to host the divine sun festival on the 22nd of February and October annually. 

Additionally, the second temple is dedicated to his loyal and beloved wife, Queen Nefertari. After exploring the temples, you will return to Aswan to enjoy your lunch. Following this, you will board your 1st class train to Luxor and then transfer to your hotel, thus concluding your Makadi Bay excursion to Aswan and Abu Simbel on this memorable two-day tour.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

December 22, 2024

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
