The Viator tour of Abu Simbel worked out GREAT for the 4 of us... We were picked up promptly at the dock where are river cruise ship was situated, returned to that precise location as well. Our ride was comfortable and we had an outstanding tour guide, Omar. He provided a thorough explanation of the statuary and construction and relocation of this marvel

We had the great pleasure and privilege of traveling to Abu Simbel with Hany Amir. Traveling with Hany is like traveling with a friend. Not only is Hany a very safe and cautious driver but also very attentive. He made the long trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel interesting, fun, and relaxing, always making sure we were comfortable. With his great sense of humor and outgoing personality, we learned a lot about the desert and also a few basic words of Arabic. To end an outstanding day, Hany invited us for the traditional Egyptian sugar cane juice. We are very happy we got to meet you, Hany, and spend the day with you! We highly recommend Hany to everybody traveling to Abu Simbel. Thank you again and all the best to you! Annika, Eva and Carola

Amazing experience. The drive was 3.5 hours from Aswan to the site but we had a great driver. He was punctual, very nice and took us to a local restaurant that the food was fantastic. His name was Hany. Abu Simbel was gorgeous!

We were picked at Abu Simbel after a long car trip from Assouan by Waleed, our guide. Immediately, we were put in the right mood by his explanations about the recent history of the site ( danger from flooding from lake Nasser) but also historical informations. The explanations were very concise and efficient, and his tone and speech speed were very enjoyable. We recommend it.

Incredibly friendly driver - Gave tons of context, video explanations despite not speaking English - amazing one . Site guide was a bit rushed as he was doing several people that morning so the history walk through didn’t feel as good

Haney was great! The car was very nice and air conditioned! He texted the night ahead to confirm and ended up adjusting the logistics to something that made things much easier for us and improved the overall experience. Thank you so much!!

Our driver Morkos Hana (Mark) was excellent. Picked us (4 pax) up onboard our Viking ship at exactly 4:00 AM. He brought water and snacks for us and was full of interesting information about Abu Simbel and southern Egypt. Drove very safely in our newish Toyota Hiace van. Had a timely restroom stop halfway into the 3-hour drive. Morkos had tickets for us upon arrival and connected us with the best guide- Tiger. The temples are spectacular and the guide was very good. The return trip was smooth and restful- I think we all napped a bit on the way back. As for the Viator part…the booking was a little frustrating. I never could select the correct pick-up point because the preset choices were all hotels…”cruise ships” or the port were not options. Right to the last day, Viator threatened to cancel if I didn’t select a pick-up point. I was finally able to message the operator to let them know we were on a Viking ship. Also frustrating was that we bought the Luxury Tour, including entrance fees….but our itinerary and receipt continued to list entrance fees as “not included”. It wasn’t until we actually arrived at Abu Simbel that we were positive that tickets were indeed included. All-in-all a great experience, but the VIATOUR site could use a little tweaking.

Organised directly via email, easy and straightforward process. Our driver was Hany, who took care of from start to finish, with clear communication, super clean car and a seamless journey from Aswan to Abu Simbel, returning us in plenty of time to Aswan airport.

Abu Simbel is one of the most beautiful historical sites ever visited. Our driver Hany is an exceptional person, nice and knowledgeable. He explained along the way everything there was to know about the route taken making ire so many hours of extremely pleasant driving. Mohamed, the guide who accompanied us to the site, was clear and exhaustive in every explanation. Highly recommended tour
