As per requested time will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and drive to the south of Aswan which is around 3hrs drive to enjoy Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan by air-conditioned vehicle. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate in order to save these temples from the flood. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramesses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramses II.The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramesses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one. Spend around 3 hours there then take the way back to Aswan.

We had a great driver an amazing guide. We arrived after the crowds of the other tourists and were back to our hotel before our group. Loved having our own driver/guide, now we are spoiled’

Perfect trip! Ahmed picked us up at the right time, with an impeccable car. Great driving to Abu Simbel. He was ready for us with cold water when we finished the trip. I wholeheartedly recommend

Unfortunately this tour was extremely disappointing and not worth the money. I feel this is an excessive price for what we received. 1st throughout the whole tour we do not receive any water or once even asked if we wanted water. First time experiencing this in any tour we have ever taken. We understood the long drive to Abu Simbel from Aswan but our tour guide just slept the whole way to the temple. Then upon arrival we were asked to buy our tickets even though they were included in the price. Once we shown proof of this our tour guide all of a sudden said ‘oh yes it is included’ Then when we got to the temple we were given a short explanation of the temple which to be honest I think Wikipedia had more information than what we received. Then our tour guide left us to take some photos. Upon meeting back with our tour guide we had lunch included so they arranged lunch at the cafe at the temple. With our dietary requirements we had very little choice and the food was not good for what we would have expected from other places in Egypt. Then we drove back to Aswan where again our tour guide slept all the way until we got to Aswan. I would not recommend to book this trip at all. If you want to go to Abu Simbel just book a driver and nothing else as this is pretty much what we got from this tour. Also would recommend to buy the little book from the temple as it shows some pretty cool photos of how they moved the temple.

Tour couldn’t be better. Dalia was very knowledgeable about the area and made the trip pleasant. Drivers were very nice.

Very nice the temples, Asuan’s transfer to abu simbel very well, good van, got a rim but all right, the only thing we didn’t like is that the Guide, a gentleman I don’t remember his name, brought us running because apparently he is affected by the sun and heat, explained and sold us some replica photos, all in no more than 15 minutes, and already left us in the temples and left, took us the driver to eat at a small restaurant near the temple, but the Guide was gone, we battled something for food, but we liked the very simple but traditional and good tasting food, the driver Ahmad always very attentive and friendly, a good boy.

Amazing road trip with Mostafa who was very considerate and a joy to be on a journey to Abu Simbel with. My family and I had a fantastic time. Would definitely recommend booking this trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel.

El Lugar es único y espectacular. Lamentablemente en el viaje de Vuelta El conductor iba a alta velocidad, mirando su celular y para colmo comenzó a quedarse dormido. Ya cuando se pone en riesgo la familia nada puede ser calificado como bueno.

The experience was not what we expected. When we arrived to Abu Simbel the driver offered to take us have lunch to a restaurant but we told them that since were leaving the next day, we wanted to have lunch at a place where they accepted credit card, he was very insistent on taking us to an ATM. The tour guide told us not to worry and that the driver would take us in Aswan to a place to have lunch before dropping us off at the airport, when we arrived we told the driver that and he told us that there were no restaurants and just dropping us off in the airport, the driver did not speak English at all, and what the guide told us was not true leaving us 2 hours before the “10 hour” mark. There was nothing to eat in the airport. Also, the tour guide in Abu Simbel gave us a really short explanation and just let us wonder around by ourselves, it would have been the same if we didn’t have the guide. We were just following him and he was silent from when we arrived and when we left, we just had a 10 min explanation in a shade and told us that he would stay there while we walked arround and had to ask other tourists for photos. Very bad experience. This was the most expensive tour we had in Egypt and we had the worst experience. Don’t recommend booking with this company, we explained this to them and just answered with a sorry message.
