Good excursion with high costs. Highly recommended for adventurers.
Pure adventure. A day trip turned into a two-day trip with additional costs. Driver reliable and friendly. Food and drinks without complaint. German speaking guide in Aswan top. Unfortunately, we did not visit the unfinished obelisk. Overnight in the hotel without Storm, luckily we had 3 flashlights with us. Temples were very impressive.
