About the Beautiful Scenery of Aswan 🌅

Popular spots Elephantine Island, Abu Simbel Temple, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, Medinet Habu (Habu City), and even the McDonald’s in Luxor 🍟… I was so exhausted every day in Luxor that I only updated my itinerary after arriving in Hurghada 😮💨. The following are just my personal opinions — take what you like, ignore what you don’t 🙏 1️⃣ Aswan has the most beautiful section of the Nile 🌊. If you have time, don’t miss the sunset over the Nile here. 2️⃣ Afternoon tea at the Old Cataract Hotel is too expensive — I skipped it 😅. The park next door costs only 50 EGP and offers a great view 🏞️. Lots of locals might ask to take photos with you 📸. 3️⃣ Abu Simbel Temple is absolutely stunning 🤩! If you have two days in Aswan, dedicate one morning to it. Group bus tours usually depart around 4 AM and return to the hotel by 2 PM. Reference price: 25 USD. 4️⃣ I hardly encountered any bad people in Aswan — just ignore anyone trying to hassle you, and you’ll be fine 😊. But Luxor is something else… stay alert at all times! Scammers dress up as hotel security, bus staff, etc. 🚷 It’s easy to get tricked. 5️⃣ If you’re not super interested in ancient Egyptian culture, just book a one-day East & West Bank tour in Luxor 🚌, rush through the sights, and leave quickly. Reference price: 15 USD. 6️⃣ Don’t miss Medinet Habu (Habu City)!!! 🏛️ It was my favorite site. 7️⃣ Many seemingly closed paths in scenic areas can often be accessed using “cash power” 💵😉. Sometimes guards will even hint that you can enter — just remember to tip afterward. #Egypt #Aswan #EgyptTravel #AbuSimbel #AncientCivilizations #NileRiver #OldCataractHotel ✨
