How to get to West-Aswan?
From Cairo: by train or by airplane.

From Luxor: by train: in ca 3,5 hour you’ll arrive in Aswan centre. It’s also possible to travel by taxi, but you’ll be dependent of the convoy hours. If you phone us one day before you arrive, we arrange a taxi to pick you up from the Aswan central station or Aswan airport. In half an hour you’ll be in West-Aswan.

Of course you can come by yourself as well: take the local ferryboat (20 min.) from Aswan Centre to the Tombs of the Nobles. It leaves from the Corniche opposite the street of the Central Station.
