We will pick you up from the hotel or from the airport. At noon, we leave from Hurghada and travel to Aswan. If you find chaper flights to Cairo or Marsa Alam and make your way to swan yourself, just let us know, and we meet you there. Aswan is too beautiful to leave it right away. So we will have a day to discover and yes - we do a small tour by SUP around Elephantine Island, discover the tombs of the Nobles and see Aswan from above from the sanddunes at the Westbank and paddle into the sunset.
