There were only 4 things to do in Aswan in the initial plan. However, when we got around to book our flights from Cairo to Aswan, the cheapest flight was at midday. This means that we would not made the time to visit Philae Temple on the day we arrived in Aswan. The other items were High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk and felucca ride. We did none of those either. Ha. 

On double checking the flight time before we ordered a ride, we noticed that the flight time was delayed by an hour or so but there were no notifications. It was, unfortunately on a Friday which is the weekend in Egypt and we couldn't get anyone on the phone. We decided to go to the airport in case. Long story short, there were further delays and by the time we reached Aswan, it was almost 8 pm. 

Our time in Aswan was brief, just the night we arrived and after returned from Abu Simbel. Aside from the time we spent hunting for an ATM machine that works, we decided to take it easy and chillax in Aswan. 

We stayed around 4 km south of the famous Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan so it was quieter where we were.
