    Things To Do: Old men at Philae
  • Tip Rating:
  • Suprisingly, these 2 men at Philae allowed me to take photos with them, without asking for tips. I think they treat Asian better. As 2 of my European tour mates tried to take picture after me, they asked them for tips.

    Things To Do: Aswan Market
  • Tip Rating:
  • Aswan market was packed with tourists, colorful spices, incense, shops, noisy... Well, it's good to experience this market, but I do not recommend to buy anything from here. So much hassle. I hate the way they try to pull you into their shops, saying "one pound" "it's free", stuff like that. 3 of them even started a little fight trying to get me into their own shop! You'll have better quality, more choicesand cheaper merchandise in Cairo's market, and less hassle over there, at least people won't pull you and won't shout.

    Things To Do: Swimming in the Nile
  • Tip Rating:
  • One of my best / favorite thing in this trip, besides touching the Pyramids and Abu Simbul, is swimming in the Nile River. The water is very clean and chilling, just jump down from the falucca for a bath in the middle of the day.

    Things To Do: Our falucca crew
  • Tip Rating:
  • We took the falucca from Aswan to Kom Ombo, and slept 2 nights under the stars. Here's part of the crew, total 8 of us on one boat. We finished all the beers (48 big bottles I think) in 1.5 days.
