We had some great days with Omar. He’s good at telling about both the historical sights and also Egypt as it is now. Omar was very thoughtful. Oma
Our excursion to the unfinished obelisk, the Aswan High dam and Philae temple was a fantastic experience. Moataz Salah our guide was full of interesting information and brought the facts to life with much enthusiasm for each of the places we visited. We really enjoyed the whole tour.

I found this company through Expedia. The tour was very well organized, with quick responses. They were reliable and flexible with requests (I added a felucca ride at the end). My native Nubian guide, Omar, was amazing—witty, very attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout the tour. He quickly picked up on what I was interested in and even added a few extra stops that locals in Aswan would know. I learned about Aswan from around 300 BC to 2026—not just historical facts, but also hidden stories behind them. I was also curious about local life today, and Omar knew everything about Aswan. He answered all my random questions like a dictionary: environmental issues, nature, education, food, people’s mindset, ongoing local government activities, traffic problems, and much more. This tour is great for solo travelers as well. He really took care of me and made sure I was okay until I left the town.
