Step by Step

Your adventure begins with a punctual pick-up from your hotel or Nile cruise, before boarding the picturesque horse-drawn carriage. You'll feel the nostalgia of times gone by as you enter the ancient city of Syene, where every street holds ancient stories.

As you walk along the Corniche El Nile, your Egyptologist guide will tell you about the pivotal role the river has played in the life of Aswan since ancient times. In the shadow of the legendary Old Cataract Hotel, you will hear anecdotes of the illustrious people who have passed through its halls and the colonial architecture that still survives.

The vehicle will then take you to the Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, a living testimony to the Christian faith and community in Aswan. Your guide will explain the cultural syncretism of this area, where ancient traditions and modern customs coexist in harmony.

Halfway through the tour, you will stop at a traditional coffee shop where you can enjoy a free cup of tea or authentic coffee, while observing the routine of the locals in the surrounding markets and streets. Enjoy this time to soak up the local atmosphere before moving on.

Afterwards, you'll stroll freely through the tourist souk, ideal for taking home some handmade souvenirs, and finally return by car to your hotel or boat, concluding a tour full of history, culture and romance.
