On-the-ground planning in Aswan
Felucca sunsets are weather-dependent; agencies need indoor alternatives on windy days.
Transfers should account for prayer times, heat breaks, and whether old quarters are vehicle-free. Desert or wadi add-ons need camp tier photos and honest drive durations from Aswan.
When to go
November–February; avoid peak summer for Abu Simbel drives.
