Best Aswan Adventures - After Get Egypt showed us a great time for the Karnak Sound & Light Show, we canceled our Aswan tour with our cruise group & booked with Get Egypt Vacation. We took a tour of the High Dam and the Philae Temple. We had a private driver & guide who were extremely knowledgeable & accommodating. We were originally booked for 8am but my fiance was feeling sick. They were very helpful and let us change the time so he could try & feel better. We were picked up in a nice air conditioned car & they helped us find an ATM, since we hadn't gone to 1 yet. We then began the adventures! We started at the High Dam. The High Dam is not as interesting as all the temples, pyramids, & other history Egypt has going on, but it was nice to learn about. Our guide made it fun & took lots of pictures of us, for us. We then made our way towards the Philae Temple. This meant jumping on a little motorboat to get there. We had the whole boat to ourselves and got to joke with our captain. We arrived to the temple and our guide was once again very knowledgeable & we learned all about the temple. Before we got there she showed us pictures of the temple when it was found. Reminded me of Venice lol She took us all around the temples showing us important parts of the temple..I also learned there was Christianity that had a part in it... Our guide got great pictures of us and we got wander and explore on our own after our lessons. We were to meet her at the café. Now this part is where I get upset...not with the guide but the café. It was super hot, my fiance had been sick and needed electrolytes...so we were going to buy a Gatorade. They charged us $7. SEVEN US DOLLARS FOR A GATORADE. we can buy a whole six pack of Gatorades for that price in the US. Our guide couldn't believe it either so she went to buy it for us at "Her price" which was $2. We were not going to spend that amount of money for a small Gatorade. So thanks to the guide, we got some electrolytes at a fair price. I will be reviewing that cafe....not that it'll make a difference.... So once again Get Egypt Vacations made an incredible experience for us. Quit thinking about it & just book em.
