Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and take you to the banks of the Nile, where your motorboat will be waiting for you. Boarding it, you will cross the Nile to the cliff faces that lie just opposite Aswan, and a little further north of Kitchener's Island, you will reach the tombs via a staircase that has been cut into the side of the hill from the boat landing. The Nobles' tombs in Aswan are dated, principally, from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms of ancient Egypt. Most have a simplified version of a standard structure, composed of an entrance hall with a pillared chamber and a corridor leading to the burial chamber. These are the tombs that are important for their vivid wall paintings of scenes in daily life and the activities of officials.
The inscriptions on these restored tombs include accounts of the nobility's African expeditions and hieroglyphic autobiographies. Above the Graves of the Nobles, crowning the hill, is a small shrine or tomb to a local sheikh and saint, called "Kubbet el-Hawa, " meaning "the dome of the wind." The climb offers spectacular views of Aswan, the Nile River, and the surrounding countryside. The tour will end with your transfer back to your hotel in Aswan or your Nile Cruise.

Egypt is famous for its ancient historical sites. Some of the must-visit attractions include the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
The best time to visit Egypt is during the cooler months of October to April when temperatures are more comfortable for exploring the historical sites. However, if you're interested in diving in the Red Sea, the summer months offer warm waters and excellent visibility.
When visiting religious sites such as mosques or temples, it's important to dress modestly out of respect. Both men and women should have their shoulders and knees covered. It's also advisable for women to carry a scarf to cover their hair if needed.
The best months to enjoy the Middle East tours are generally April and May, or October and November, however this can vary depending on where you're traveling and what you want to do. Temperatures are normally pleasant rather than extremely hot during certain hours, though crowds may be strong at some attractions.
The most prevalent mode of transportation is by bus. In the absence of this, you'll typically find shared taxis or tourist buses running routes to major sights (such as Petra in Jordan). While flying is the shortest way to travel between Middle Eastern destinations.
