Philae Temple - Great tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide (Abdul). An absolute must see if you’re in Aswan. Would recommend the private tour over the group one.

Lovely tour with Heba! - We throughly enjoyed our trip to Philae with Heba and Abdullah. We were part of a small group which was a big plus for us! Heba was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the temple and it’s long and varied history alive for us. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it!

Philae Temple - We went on a tour today to Philae with Mohamad Hafany who was very nice and friendly.
He was very easy to get on with, did apologise to us if his English wasn't perfect and dropped us off at Nubian Museum as requested. He showed us around the temple explaining its history and left us plenty of time to explore. The boat ride over too was wonderful.
We also had Marina keeping track that we had been met by the guide which was very nice. The only reason I have rated four stars is we were never provided with water which would have been nice as it was very hot on the day.

Good experience - Our experience was good all in all but it could have been better if we had had more time to enjoy the site, while from time to time we were under the impression that the guide was rushing us.
