Sailing the River Nile in a felucca has to be our most memorable experience of Egypt. The weather was perfect, the boat perfectly safe and our captain Sero was one of the friendliest people we have ever met. His knowledge of the area and its history was vast and it was great to be able to see all of these... More

Spent very good time in Aswan thanks to Aswan Individual. Petra's suggestions and advices were very helpful to organize our trip. In Aswan, Waleed made everything running smoothly and was always available to help. We spent great moments with Sero (this man is a gem!) when visiting Elephantine, cruising on the Nile or birdwatching. Our guide to Philae (Islam) was... More

I came across the website of Aswan individual when I was looking for options to go to Abu Simbel. When I first contacted Petra Dressler, I received a very prompt response. She was very patient while helping to plan my trip, making suggestions regarding sight seeing, and played a great role to make my trip a great success. My wife... More

I'm a journalist by training and an academic by adoption, so I balked a bit when I heard my friends (a couple with two children) were using this tour service. The service provided by Aswan Individual was truly individual and unregimented. We stayed in a house on Elephantine Island, home to the Nubian people, and had a chance to explore... More

We are a family with experience travelling to many countries. We love to travel but hate feeling like tourists. Aswan Individual allowed us to do this by giving us the opportunity to get a better understanding of how the people of Aswan (both Nubians and Egyptians) go about their daily lives and relate to their fascinating historical past. We followed... More

We went on their falluca and had a lovely meal then spent the afternoon sailing up to the Dam, a very relaxing afternoon, They also took us to Crocodile Island where we had a fish meal and watched the sun set. Magical. More

We went to Aswan and Luxor on our christmas holiday despite of some recommendation to stay safe at our home in Cairo and our own exhaustion from months of adapting to egyptian way of live. When we planned our 7 nights holiday, a friend suggested Aswan individual to us and a word 'no hassle' is the highlight that made us... More

We had an amazing trip to Eygpt and you need a contact person in Eygpt to get your trip reserved and to be met and shown into Aswan. Waleed met us at the train station and orchestrated all the details of our time in Aswan and Luxor. We didn't want a big nile cruise ship and he researched and found... More

As others have mentioned, Petra was prompt and helpful with her responses to my queries. Her suggestions helped us have an even better time than might otherwise have been the case (felucca ride, which we really enjoyed). We travelled from Aswan to Luxor, from where we took a few days trips. All went pretty much as planned, and our guides... More
