Day Trip to Aswan from Luxor

It is possible to make a day trip to Aswan from Luxor, which is a pleasant and reasonably priced alternative, or by private vehicle/taxi. For organized trips, a guided group tour is a fantastic alternative. However, it is advised to remain for at least two to three days to view the main attractions of Aswan, including the Philae Temple and the Nubian Museum. A day trip is feasible, but it will take a lot of time, and you probably won't be able to see many important locations, such as Philae Temple.

Itinerary: Day Trip to Aswan from Luxor

A typical day trip to Aswan from Luxor includes a boat ride to the stunning Philae Temple complex on its island, as well as stops at the Unfinished Obelisk and the Aswan High Dam.

Most day tours concentrate on Aswan’s primary sites, but it’s more typical to see the Abu Simbel temples as a distinct, lengthier excursion, even if it is feasible to visit both on an incredibly lengthy day trip.  

The trip itself takes around three to four hours by rail or private vehicle, and private excursions provide the most convenient and adaptable option to explore these sites in a single day.

Included:

  • Transportation: For a more comfortable and adaptable experience, several trips include private vehicle transfers; otherwise, you may use the train. 
  • Guided Tour: A guide explains the cultural and historical background of the places you see. 
  • Entrance Fees: The majority of tour packages include entrance to the featured sites. 
  • Philae Temple: A typical visit includes a boat journey to the island temple of the goddess Isis.

Not Included:

  • Optional Tours: Anything outside of the regular schedule, including a trip to the Nubian Museum, a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk, or a felucca ride, is often extra. 
  • Drinks (particularly alcoholic ones), souvenirs, and any other individual expenditures fall under the heading of personal expenses. 
  • Advice: Tipping drivers, guides, and other employees is customary in Egypt and is typically not covered by the cost of the tour. 
  • Extras not on the Itinerary: A location or experience is not included if it is not mentioned in the tour’s itinerary. 
  • Particular Fees: Extra charges would apply for admission to locations such as the Unfinished Obelisk or a Nubian village that are not on the tour schedule.
