Awesome temple
Beautiful temple and a wonderful experience in Aswan. Arriving by boat makes the visit feel even more special, and the views from the water are stunning. Our guide Mary was amazing! Knowledgeable, kind, and great at explaining the history in a way that was easy to understand. Philae Temple is absolutely worth visiting.

It was hot in April, but the temple was dazzling and in a great location. Ahmed-san guided me around the place even though I didn't understand the language. Thank you very much. Thank you for your transportation.
The tour never happened
Not recommended, the tour never happened. I was told on the day of the tour by the tour advisor that due to unforeseen operation problems, the tour can't take place. No refund was also not provided
I hate Viator
Connecting with Viator was useless when we needed to as our flight was late. Phoned a UK number, no human answered. Viator is useless. We should have been given guide's number immediately when we booked. Mary our guide was excellent but I will not use Viator again. Not there when they were needed.
