Aswan Museum

The entrance is the one closest to the Nile towards the east bank of Aswan. I noticed several entrances open along the fence. I’ve added photos to show the lead up to the main fence and the ticket booth. 200 pounds foreign and 100 pounds foreign student admission. 10 pounds (foreign price) for the public boat ride each away. Appears there’s a rehab job of the main building so there is a smaller building to the right one of the employees will unlock for you and turn the lights on, which is the museum. He did do a good job to show some of the intricacies of the artifacts. Should not take more than 30 mins in that museum. Then you can visit the temples behind the museum. They’re in a more ruinous state than some other temples, but you will get nice views of the Nile and both sides of Aswan. Little shade.

Bought tickets (can't remember the price, but it doesn't matter anyway as it was overpriced) and then some random guy stands inside and took us to the temporary museum (it is being renovated). He is too friendly (immediate red flag for any tourist who has been in Egypt for more than one day) and I tell him we don't want a guide. He says it's just a "courtesy". Lol yeah right. Of course asks for a tip when we move on outside after being shown around by him for 3 minutes. Once outside another useless soul approaches us after 10 min to try and show us around. Ignored him and walked away, doing our own thing. No signage of where to go (which these scammers take advantage of) and pretty much no info boards. The ones that do exist are so dirty that you can't read anything. Couldn't find the exit and didn't want to search for too long in case another leech approached us to show us the way for yet another tip, so we ended up jumping over a low fence around the back. 2 stars because there was at least a little something to see.

One of the most interesting sites we’ve visited in Egypt. Ticket is 200 egp cash only. The Satet and Khnum temples are still under excavation, so it gave us a good sense of how archaeological work is done in Egypt. The guide, though speaks very little English, is a nice person and tried his best to explain to us the temples and the functions of each chamber. We gave him 200 egp and he was happy and did not ask for more, which we think is good. Also the view from the panorama is marvelous.

Not worth the tickets. I visited today morning 200 ticket was charged. I think it is scam. Because on the ticket amount is written with pen. Not printed. Ticket should be 20 EGP not 200. Not maintained at all. Lot of dust.

The Nubian Museum is closed at the moment for rebuilding. The labelling on the sites needs completely redoing The restorations have turned some of the heaps of stones into a bit of something, but there's still huge piles of jumbled rocks and bricks. As we entered there was absolutely no one in the to let office. Later someone offered to "help" us around. On exit a person bounded out of the dilapidated ticket office demanding ticket money. If you have time to kill (us), or have particular interest, then go. But go prepared. Please note: boatmen will not distinguish between the ruins and the Nubian Museum. Because they are ~ the same place.

The Aswan Museum is a small but really cool spot to check out if you're in the area. It’s on Elephantine Island, so just getting there by boat adds to the adventure. Inside, you’ll find artifacts from ancient Aswan and Nubia—statues, pottery, tools, and some pretty fascinating stuff from the island’s old temples. It’s not a huge museum,

A wonderful museum with a rich collection of artifacts that highlight the history of Aswan, Nubia, and Elephantine Island. The displays are well-organized, informative, and beautifully preserved. The museum’s location is stunning — surrounded by the Nile, greenery, and archaeological sites, making the visit peaceful and enjoyable. It’s an excellent place to learn more about Nubian culture and ancient Egyptian history away from crowded tourist spots. A must-visit for history lovers and anyone exploring Elephantine Island. Highly recommended!

I wouldn't think it's worth visiting, it's really a small museum, like you enter, and that's everything. It's 200 entry fees and 100 for students. There will be people following to guide you and ask you tips after the guide. We didn't pay and walk away afterwards. Tourists don't be shy and just walk away, I know it's rude, but we didn't ask for any guide.
