200 for foreigners cash only. includes both Tombs and the hike up to the dome. The Dome has an incredible but it's hard to reach, I didn't regret hiking all the way tbh. There are locals at the top who help you for free but you can tip them if you feel like it. They deserve it. They practically live on the mountain, very simple people. They have the keys to the Tombs and they'll let you in after you ask or if you look like tourists. Worth going to see them, they're 5000 years old

Nice views especially at golden hour and sunset. Had to buy a ticket for the tombs for 200 EGP, the man at the ticket office was uncooperative as he didn’t want to give us the appropriate change, making us pay more than the actual price. Also, they gave us a ticket for Edfu Temple which is obviously wrong. We walked up the stairs and past the tombs and in 5 minutes we were on top of the hill, enjoying the beautiful view over Aswan and the Nile.

Fantastic view of the Nile from the top and some infrequently visited ancient tombs of local nobles below. Recommend visiting as part of an extended felucca trip as the boat will pick you up on your return.

A peaceful and breathtaking spot with one of the best panoramic views in Aswan. The Dome of Abu Al-Hawa sits high on the hill of the West Bank, offering stunning scenery overlooking the Nile, the islands, and the city below. The climb to the top is a bit steep, but the view is absolutely worth it. The area is quiet, away from crowds, and perfect for enjoying the sunset or taking beautiful photos. The historical atmosphere adds a special charm, as the site is surrounded by ancient tombs carved into the mountain. If you love scenic viewpoints and calm places with a deep historical feel, this spot is a must-visit in Aswan. Highly recommended!

I haven't been there, i took a pic from the Botanical garden. I think it deserved a go, especially for the view and it seems less frequented by tourists

Best place in whole Egypt! 1. Great views of the Nile and the desert 2. Shade from the sun and breeze to keep you cool 3. Tombs of the noble nearby with inscriptions 4. Peace and quiet and very few tourists and people trying to sell you random things 5. Short fery ride to reach here for just 5 pounds

Qubbet Al- Hawa view point offers one of the highest 360 degrees panoramic view at Aswan City. You can take the Felucca (Sail Boat) to pass from the west side to the east, a nice breezy trip which would take around 10 minutes, you should agree with the sail man on the price for the round trip before embarking on the boat, don't forget to take his mobile number as well as to set a return time in order not to wait long time till he returns back to you. The area is very safe as there is a police station on that side, you can climb stone stairs all the way up to the noble graves which are engraved in the mountain thousand of years ago. There will be a part which you will have to climb through the steep sand so make sure you are wearing a comfortable shoes that would assist you to climb in this sandy conditions, around 10 minutes climbing and you would reach Qubbet Al- Hawa itself which is the main touristic attraction. Be careful while climbing down as it is very steep and one would easily fall. Conclusion: 1- No need for a tour guide unless you want someone to brief you on the history of the location. 2- The area is quite safe 3- You can climb on foot or by renting a camel that would take you all the way to the top of the mountain 4- Schedule your trip with any of the many sail boats who are available on the west side on the Nile river, you may bargain the price till you reach a fair price, make sure it is a round trip. 5- Most important thing is not to forget your camera and enjoy every second 6- Ticket kiosk is available at the bottom of the mountain and usually there is no queue
