Our bus stopped at the Aswan airport to pick up our tour mates who flew overnight from Cairo instead of taking long bus trip. However, they had to leave the Oasis hotel in Giza so early (around 4 AM) that my long bus trip was not all that bad in comparison.

My sun blocker was in my bag, which was in the luggage compartment of the bus. I asked our tour guide if I could take it out from the bag. He mentioned that there are regulations that busses cannot open the luggage compartment (or at least busses that not are commercially licensed to operate at the airport) in the area, so I had to wait for us to leave the airport to get my sunscreen.

Today’s breakfast was included in the tour package. The restaurant was a large separate facility in the airport area, but not connected to the airport. Our bus parked right in front of it in the parking lot.

I went to use the washroom to freshen up. The line was not too long. Once I returned, I saw most of our tour mates sitting together. Our tour guide handed us our pre-made breakfasts one by one.

It was nothing fancy. It looked like a pita bread stuffed with falafel or something like that. It tasted OK, but nothing great and not too spicy.

The free breakfast catch was that it didn’t come with a drink, so everyone was forced to buy an overpriced drink. I already had bottled water, so I only bought a coffee. The coffee was not that great either, but after a long bus ride and no sleep it felt like heaven.

From here we would go to the famous High Dam of Aswan. We were scheduled to go to the hotel first, but due to lack of time we were to finish all our excursions first and then go to our hotel.
