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.

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!
