Local knowledge for Aswan
Where to stay
Budget travelers mostly stay on or just behind Sharia al-Souk, the market street that runs parallel to the Corniche, and near the train station end of town along Sharia Abtal al-Tahrir. Both put you walking distance from cheap local eateries, the bazaar, and the public ferry dock for Elephantine Island.
Getting around
- Take the public Nile ferry from the dock near the Corniche to Elephantine Island. It costs a few Egyptian pounds. The felucca touts on the waterfront charge 20-30x that for the same five-minute crossing.
- The Abu Simbel convoy bus departs around 3am from central Aswan and costs roughly a third of the tourist minibuses. It runs the same road and gets you there for sunrise.
- Book the Cairo or Luxor sleeper train instead of a daytime bus or flight. It's cheaper, arrives in the morning, and you don't burn a hostel night in transit.
When to go
Beds are easy to find and cheap June through August when temperatures regularly exceed 40°C, but November through February fills up fast as cooler weather brings European visitors and Nile cruise traffic.
