Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Aswan Attractions Tour

Starting your Aswan & Abu Simbel tours from Marsa Alam in the morning, a modern private A.C. car will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you to Aswan. Upon arrival, you will join your Egyptologist tour guide for an exploration of Ancient Egyptian Civilization in Aswan, which will include visits to the following tourist attractions:

High Dam of Aswan

Between 1960 and 1970, the Egyptian government, in association with the Soviet Union, built the High Dam in Aswan to control the flood of the Nile River, arrange the irrigation processes, and develop agriculture.

The Unfinished Obelisk

The old world’s largest obelisk. Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) commissioned it to accompany the Lateran Obelisk (which was initially located at Karnak and later moved to the Lateran Palace in Rome).

Temple of Philae

Dedicated to the goddess Isis of Love and Beauty. As part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign initiative, the temple complex was deconstructed and transported to neighboring Agilkia Island, safeguarding it and other monuments before the Aswan High Dam was completed in 1970.

After that, you’ll have a fantastic lunch before checking into a 5* hotel in Aswan.

Day 2: Visit Abu Simbel and return to Marsa Alam

Get your breakfast box from your accommodation early in the morning, then accompany your private tour guide for a visit to Abu Simbel.

Temples of Abu Simbel

The two temples are among the most important marvels of ancient Egypt because of their unique style. They are a reflection of Egypt’s new Kingdom’s glory and magnificence. Abu Simbel is home to two huge rock temples. The twin temples were cut out of the mountainside during King Ramses II’s reign in the 13th century BC as a permanent memorial to himself and his Queen Nefertari for their victory at the Battle of Kadesh.

Then return to Aswan for lunch before transferring by car to Marsa Alam to conclude your Aswan and Abu Simbel tours.

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!

Despite a late start due to car trouble, Mohamed more than made up for it with his incredible knowledge and dedication. His explanations were detailed and thoughtful, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. A memorable and informative tour, thanks to Mohamed’s hard work!

AMAZING TOUR, SOLO TRAVELER.

October 12, 2024

I am a California woman who traveled to Egypt alone and thanks to Egypt Fun Tours I had a great time. Hani, Mohammed, Kamal and David (my driver) were very professional and very knowledgeable, I appreciate how respectful they were and how protective they were with me.

They show me everything I wanted to see in Cairo and nearby places like Saqqara, Memphis, etc. Thanks to them I had a great time in Egypt, they were so so helpful than on my second day they helped me to move from my hotel in Giza to the Steigenberger hotel in downtown Cairo.

The tour price is super good includes a guide (expert in the field) a driver, lunch and drinks, they took me to amazing places for lunch, the food was super super delicious, for a foodie like me that was a highlight. We went out fo the tourist traps and I got to see the Cairo that if you are in a bus tour you will never get to see.

This tour is personalized for each person depending of what you want to see and do, I absolutely love it.

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Hani and arranged all my tours, Hani was super super nice since the moment I contacted him and explained him what I wanted to do and see.

Hani and his group mesmerized me with the tours they put together, this is a memory I will keep for lifetime.

I had only good things to say about them and I highly recommend them.

I did visit the pyramids in Giza, downtown Cairo, new Cairo, several museums, Coptic Cairo and Muslim Cairo with them and I learned a lot from them, I felt like they were family to me and it was EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

If I go back to Egypt I will hire them again without hesitation.

David I take my hat off for you because I have NO IDEA how you can drive in crazy Cairo, thanks to all of you for making this lady’s dream a reality.
