Aswan Resorts - Reviews and Rates

We had a long night on the bus travelling from Cairo to Aswan. I did lay down on the floor of the bus to try to get some sleep but the spot I picked happened to be close to the engine so I heard the revving noises and it was a bit hot. I did get some sleep but not much.
We arrived in Aswan around noon on Sept. 14 and after checking into anoth...

Here we are in Aswan...This is going to be a quick update as I am wayy behind! The Nile cruise boat totally threw me off the blog agenda as it was dial up and took forever and cost wayyy too much money. So in Aswan we visited two major archaeological sites...Edfu and Kumom Umbo. Both sites are Egyptian but have major influence from the Greeks! E...

howdy. We Got up at the rediculous time of 3 A.M. this morning to ride a but for 3 hours so we could spend an hour at the Templs of Abu Simbel. Its funny because this is one of the things Nadine really wanted to see but we got the times wrong from our bus driver and thought we had to meet him back one hour earlier than we did. Therefore we only ...

This morning gave us the option to go hot air ballooning over The Nile and up over the Valley of the Kings and Queens. It wasn't something we had planned on doing however for £40 Goose was in. This would be the cheapest opportunity to do it and what a setting to have your first balloon ride. Pick up for the balloon ride was 5.30am for those doin...

Finalmente nos fuimos de la caotica Cairo y nos fuimos en tren de "lujo" hacia Aswan. El tren para estandares occidentales es una chatarra semi mugrienta, ruidosa y lenta. Digo semi mugrienta porque comparado a los trenes de los locales es el tren bala... El Nilo en Aswan esta en su maximo esplendor y el templo de Philae es espectaular, sobretod...

With my busy program, I didn't have too much time to see Aswan. I had a few hours to wander around town, but after doing so, I felt like I saw everything I had wanted to see. More than anything, Aswan seems to be a place for starting tours along the Nile (they can't start further upstream because of the High Dam). After strolling through the uni...

We flew to Cairo and went directly to the train station to meet mom and dad and catch the train to Aswan. We did, after some moments of panic on my behalf, meet up with mom and dad. I had visions of them on the sidewalk getting husseled my street vendors huddled together waiting for us. Alas they were not there when we arrived and that was worse...

Chapter 32: Coptic Cairo! Having spent the night with Cleopatra (the painting) staring at you, I woke up feeling quite exhausted. (C'mon, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable when someone is watching you the whole night?) My flight to Aswan was in the late afternoon so I had the whole morning free to explore around Cairo. Having visited the Islamic ...

Arrange all transp...
