About Aswan-Individual

Ayyi chidma – At your service

This website about Aswan gives offers and advices for people who like to travel on their own. The idea was to create a website, which offers modules: services described in detail and with a fixed price. There is no haggling nor hassle.

Aswan Individual is a network of top professional freelancers. Of course all guides are academic Egyptologists, captains and drivers have all education needed and licenses from the tourist police. Vehicles are all new, regularly checked, with air condition and also licensed by the tourist police.

Far from Mass Tourism

You pay for your driver / guide / captain / car / felucca: no matter if you are one or 8 people. You pay only for the service – not for each person. No other tourist will be put in “your” felucca or “your” car! Fees for permissions and 10% tax are already included.

You will NOT! be brought to any papyrus-, spices- or parfumeshop (etc.), where other service providers usually “collect commission for bringing tourists”.

We will help you to keep away from mass tourism as far as possible!

We care for you

Sero love to introduce you to Nubian Culture and the Nile

Please feel welcome to visit Elephantine or other Nubian villages. Sero organizes your captains to share with you a relaxed time on the felucca.
Think of the felucca to be „your“ sailing boat to sail wherever you like (not shared with others), as long as you like and get out for sightseeing, where it is interesting for you. The felucca will wait at the beach, your captain will be your guide, until you are ready to continue sailing.

Happy Customers

… And you were so correct about Aswan being a charming city. I only spent a few hours in Aswan, before leaving for Aswan; however, even in that little span of time, I thought that there was so much going on in that city. It seemed busier and more exciting than Luxor–which felt that it existed solely for the purposes of tourism. Aswan felt like a „real“ city, if you know what I mean. …

Debjeet (USA)

… Egypt is unlike what you see on the news and read in the paper (especially Aswan). It is very relaxed, friendly & trouble free – but a great travelling experience.

Jenica H. (London, UK)

… throughout the trip everything on the ground ran very smoothly and Waleed and his people genuinely wanted to help at every opportunity. When small problems arise (and they do – Egypt is still a 3rd world country) Waleed and his team do everything they can to help.

Chris H. and family (Australia, living in Cairo)

… So if you go to Egypt and want to be relax, not bother by the people trying to get the most amount of money from you, then chose Aswas Individual for your trip.
thanks for those two amazing days

I had a wonderful time at Aswan and Waleed was amazing.
I can’t think of anything I would change to improve Aswan Individual, it isn’t possible to improve perfection!
The trip to Abu Simbel went like clockwork and I enjoyed it so much.
I have already left positive feedback on Tripadvisor.
