“Our driver was dressed nicely and the car was clean. His English was better, and he was waiting with the name sign at the arrival of the airport. Our trip started at 9:30 from the airport and we were at the temple at 12:40. All the tour groups were gone and very few people at the site. At some point we were alone in the small temple. We were back to Aswan a little before 6.”
