Private transfers from Aswan Airport and across Aswan

Aswan is more than the final stop of a Nile cruise. It is a starting point for Philae Temple, the Nubian Museum, the colourful villages beside the Nile and journeys south to Abu Simbel. Camel Transfers helps you plan the road transport around the places you actually want to visit.

Book a direct transfer from Aswan International Airport (ASW), arrange a vehicle for sightseeing, or travel onwards to Abu Simbel or Luxor. Tell us your arrival details, hotel or cruise boat, preferred stops and group size, and we will quote for the right journey.

The journey you asked for

Aswan to Abu Simbel, your way

Choose where your journey starts, whether the vehicle waits, and where you would like to finish afterwards.

One-way to Abu Simbel

Book a private transfer from Aswan Airport, your hotel or your cruise meeting point to Abu Simbel. This option suits travellers staying there or continuing with separate plans.

Return transfer

Travel from Aswan to Abu Simbel and return after an agreed waiting period. Tell us how long you need there, and whether your return drop-off is a hotel, cruise or Aswan Airport.

Return with temple visit

Plan time to see the temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari before travelling back. A licensed tour guide can be requested separately as part of your personalised quote.

We quote for your chosen route and waiting time. Temple admission, guiding and any other extras are specified separately in your booking confirmation.

Make the route fit your trip

Abu Simbel pickup and return options

You can combine different pickup and drop-off points. There is no need to return to the place where your journey started.

From Aswan Airport

Arrive at ASW and continue by private road transfer to Abu Simbel. Choose a one-way drop-off or request a visit to the temples followed by a return to Aswan.

From an Aswan hotel

Start at your hotel and travel directly to Abu Simbel. After your visit, return to the same hotel or request drop-off at a different Aswan address or cruise point.

Finish at the airport

After Abu Simbel, you can request drop-off at Aswan Airport instead of your hotel. Share your flight departure time before booking so we can review the proposed itinerary.

Temples and landmarks to add to your plans

Build a route around the places that interest you. We will check which stops suit your available time.

Philae Temple

Visit the island temple complex associated with Isis. Your road transfer reaches the departure jetty, where a separate boat journey takes visitors across to the site.

Unfinished Obelisk

See the ancient granite quarry and an unfinished monument that reveals how the stone was worked. It can fit into a city sightseeing itinerary.

Nubian Museum

Explore the history and heritage of Nubia during your stay in Aswan. Add the museum as an agreed stop alongside other nearby city attractions.

Aswan High Dam

Request a stop at the High Dam during a planned Aswan outing. It can be combined with other south Aswan visits, subject to your available time.

Kalabsha area

Ask about including the New Kalabsha monuments in a tailored itinerary. Access arrangements and timing should be checked before the journey is confirmed.

Abu Simbel temples

Make the temples the main purpose of a private day trip or a stop before an overnight stay. Choose your pickup, visiting time and return destination.

Transport reaches the applicable road access point. Boats, site entry and a licensed guide can be arranged or quoted separately when requested.

The Nile and Nubian culture

Nubian villages, islands and riverside visits

Some of Aswan’s most memorable places involve a boat connection, so the meeting point matters as much as the road transfer.

Nubian village visits

Ask us to plan transport to a suitable boat departure point for a Nubian village visit. Tell us whether you also need a private boat arranged for the visit.

Elephantine Island

If you are staying on the island or visiting its archaeological area, we can take you to an agreed mainland crossing point. Your onward river crossing is confirmed separately.

West Bank locations

Stays and visits on the opposite bank may require a road route or boat crossing. Send us the exact property or site so we can agree on the appropriate pickup and drop-off.

Where guests stay

Aswan hotel and Nile cruise transfers

We arrange transport to named hotels, cruise embarkation points and agreed boat connections, with the final location confirmed before travel.

Nilefront hotels

Request a transfer to Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan or another Nilefront hotel. Provide your full property name to avoid confusion between neighbouring entrances.

Elephantine Island hotel

For Mövenpick Resort Aswan, we arrange the road journey to the agreed mainland point. Confirm the hotel’s boat connection details with your accommodation.

City hotels and guesthouses

We also serve other Aswan hotels, guesthouses and private stays. Share the address or map location, particularly if your accommodation is reached by boat.

These hotel names identify possible destinations and do not imply a partnership or endorsement.

Your boat, your meeting point

Transfers for Nile cruise passengers

Aswan is a starting or finishing point for many Nile cruises. Docking locations may differ, so we arrange the road transfer using your operator’s instructions.

Sonesta cruise ships

Travelling on Sonesta St. George I, Sonesta Sun Goddess or another Sonesta Nile cruise? Send the boat name and current embarkation details when requesting pickup.

Mövenpick MS Sunray

If your itinerary includes the Mövenpick MS Sunray, provide the operator’s confirmed Aswan meeting or docking instructions before your transfer.

Other cruises and dahabiyas

We can arrange transfers for other Nile cruise boats and dahabiyas. The boat name alone may not identify the dock, so please share your joining instructions.

Boat names are examples, not cruise partnerships. We confirm your actual road drop-off after you provide the operator’s location details.

Travel north

Aswan to Luxor with optional temple stops

Choose a direct intercity transfer or make the drive part of your sightseeing plans.

Direct to Luxor

Travel from Aswan Airport, your hotel or your cruise point to a Luxor hotel, cruise connection or Luxor Airport with a private vehicle.

Stop at Kom Ombo

Add time to visit the riverside temple complex at Kom Ombo. Tell us whether you would like transport only or an optional licensed guide.

Continue via Edfu

Request an additional stop at the Temple of Horus in Edfu on the way to Luxor. We will quote for the journey and planned waiting time.

Make it your trip

Transport, tour guide and flexible stops

Tell us how much help you want. A simple transfer and a guided sightseeing day are different services, and we can quote for either.

Private vehicle only

Book a driver and vehicle for a direct route or agreed stops. We confirm the route, waiting time and final drop-off before your journey.

Add a licensed guide

Request a tour guide for Abu Simbel, Aswan attractions or selected temple visits. Tell us your preferred language when asking for a quote.

Build a custom itinerary

Combine an airport pickup, temple visit, hotel check-in or cruise connection. We will review the order of stops against your available time.
