Phila temple was beautiful, the guide was a good enough guy but he rushed us through it due to his company giving him way to much ground to cover in a short time. Mohammed was our guide and he disappointed me when on two occasions he told us to tip the driver. Bear in mind this tour company did mess us around. They Watsapp us two days before telling us our hotel was on the West Bank and wanted to charge us for pick up of $20 more when it was clearly included in our package with Viator. Then they changed there mind on that so okay fine red flags are appearing but we wanted to see this trip so bad and with no time left we kind of had to go along with it. Then the day before they tell us they can’t get us back to Luxor before the Egyptian check point closes at 5pm so they would put us on a train instead. Fair enough the train the booked was like business class quality and the journey was 3hours, and we did have a driver at the station waiting for us who was a good guy stopped to allow us to eat also but all in all this trip was not worth it. £200 and then we paid all entry fees to everything which was like 700-900 EGP (oh and you could only use your Visa card) then with all the tipping on top I was just exhausted, out of cash and wanted the hotel. They did follow through but it was a mess and we didn’t really appreciate the changes
We so enjoyed this daytrip from Luxor to Aswan. It was an incredible way to see The Egypt countryside as well as the Nile River. Much of the drive goes right alongside the river! Our amazing tour guide Ramzy was so good as was our driver Islam. They took such good care of us. We stopped at EDFU temple which was an amazing experience. We were so happy with Ramzy we asked him to stay in Aswan to be our guide the next day at Philae Temple. I highly recommend booking these guys if you are looking to get from Luxor to Aswan. It's the absolute best way to go!
Its an amazing island on the antiquities sites that relocated after we built the high dam 1982 by UNESCO on the island many constructions temple of Isis Hadrian gate Diocletian gate Trogon pavilion To visit you need to get a motor boat really it's impressive.
