A simple tour, yet culturally rich and full of learning.

The tour was a complete immersion into the local culture. We started by visiting a church and a mosque, where we could learn more about the region’s religious traditions and history. Afterwards, we went to the bazaar, full of colors, aromas, and typical handicrafts — a great place to observe daily life and buy souvenirs. We finished by walking through the streets of Aswan, a very pleasant and authentic experience that allowed us to feel the city’s rhythm and interact with local people. Our guide Mario was excellent, providing many interesting explanations and valuable information about all the places we visited.
