8-Hour Private Tour of the Pyramids, Sphinx, Grand Egyptian Museum

4 hours

Easy


Visiting ancient monuments in Egypt    is a great way to get a glimpse into the country's history, but most tours are expensive and don't provide much flexibility.


A lot of people want to visit Temple of Kalabsha but never have the time or money for it. They just forget about it until they're on their last day in Aswan and wish they had done something more interesting than spending all day at the Nubian Museum.


We'll take you there! Our private tour takes you by air-conditioned vehicle from your hotel in Aswan  directly to Kalabsha Temple, where we can spend as much time as you like exploring this wonderful place before heading back to our air-conditioned vehicle for the ride back to your hotel. You can even add extra sites like Philae Temple or Elephantine Island if you'd like (for an additional fee). Just let us know what interests you when making your booking.
