Tour Overview
Cross by boat, then camel or walk up to the ruined monastery on the west bank. This itinerary is "St Simeon Monastery, Aswan". Named stops: West-bank landing, Monastery of St Simeon.
A desert-edge ruin, not Philae. Tell us if you refuse the camel — the walk is the same hill.
West-bank landing is on this outline, with time to look rather than a drive-by. Monastery of St Simeon is on this outline, with time to look rather than a drive-by.
