An independent day trip to Aswan from Marsa Alam means finding a reliable driver, and exploring without a guide once there. This private tour makes everything easy and enlightening: with private air-conditioned transport, prearranged visits, and a guide to share the history of the sites. Take a boat to Philae Temple, see the Unfinished Obelisk and High Dam; and ride a 'felucca' sailboat (own expense) on the Nile.
