Aswan Day Tours: What to See

In short: Aswan is Egypt’s Nubian south, calmer and greener than Luxor. The essentials are Abu Simbel, Philae Temple, the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, a felucca ride and a Nubian village. One full day covers the city sights; Abu Simbel needs its own early-start day.
