Super tour to see all Aswan in 1 day! - We had a great day with our guide Mery (Maria) in Aswan. She showed us all the highlights and gave a lot of information. First we visited the unfinished obelisk, because it was still cool in the morning. Then we went to Philea island by boat. She explained a lot about the temple and figures carved on the walls. Very interesting! We ended the day with a lovely boat tour on the Nile to the Nubian village. We had a good view on the Elephantine Island while passing it. At the Nubian village we had some tea and bought some souvenirs. Bring yourself some food and water, because it is a daytrip!
