Plan Your Aswan Trip: A Booking Checklist

Booking a private tour in Aswan takes a few minutes. This checklist covers what to decide, what to send us and what to know before you travel.

1. Decide what you want to see

Pick by the time you have: a morning, a full day or an evening. Our guide to Aswan day trips compares them, and Private Aswan Tours lists all eight experiences.

2. Send us four details

• Your preferred date
• The number of guests
• Where you are staying in Aswan, or your arrival point
• Your language, if you want a guide

Use the quote form on any tour page, or message us on WhatsApp.

3. Receive a written quotation

We reply within 24 hours with a written quotation. No payment is asked at enquiry.

4. Confirm and pay

Payment is arranged once your itinerary is confirmed, in cash (EGP, USD or EUR) or by bank transfer. For groups of 7 or more, or tours in peak season (October–April), a 25% deposit may be requested to secure your date.

5. Know the cancellation rules

• Free cancellation more than 24 hours before your tour.
• 50% charge between 24 and 12 hours before.
• Full charge inside 12 hours or for a no-show.

Read the full terms.

6. Before you travel

• Early starts: the Abu Simbel tour begins with hotel pickup at 4:00 AM, so plan an early night before.
• Clothing: modest clothing is appreciated at temples and mosques, with shoulders and knees covered as a safe guideline.
• Visa: requirements depend on your nationality, so check the official requirements for your passport.
• Pickup details: we confirm your pickup time and location with you on WhatsApp before your tour.
