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.

Ramesses II variously also spelled Rameses[6] or Ramses, 'Ra is the one who bore him' or 'born of Ra', Koinē Greek: Ῥαμέσσης, romanized: Rhaméssēs, c. 1303 BC – July or August 1213; reigned 1279–1213 BC[7]), also known as Ramesses the Great, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt. He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom, itself the most powerful period of Ancient Egypt.[8] His successors and later Egyptians called him the "Great Ancestor".
This article is about the Egyptian queen and wife of Ramesses II. For other persons by this name, see Nefertari (disambiguation). Nefertari Nefertari, also known as Nefertari Meritmut, was an Egyptian queen and the first of the Great Royal Wives (or principal wives) of Ramesses the Great.[1] Nefertari means 'beautiful companion' and Meritmut means 'Beloved of [the goddess] Mut'. She is one of the best known Egyptian queens, among such women as Cleopatra, Nefertiti, and Hatshepsut, and one of the most prominent not known or thought to have reigned in her own right. She was highly educated and able to both read and write hieroglyphs, a very rare skill at the time. She used these skills in her diplomatic work, corresponding with other prominent royals of the time. Her lavishly decorated tomb, QV66, is one of the largest and most spectacular in the Valley of the Queens. Ramesses also constructed a temple for her at Abu Simbel next to his colossal monument there.

7 hours of driving back and forth and only 90 minutes allowed to take in this amazing space. Should allow at least another hour for a once in a lifetime experience. Company should change how they provide this service to better enhance the quality of this

Initially there was a mix up with our passports, because they did not submit them for a permit on time, so until literally the last minute we did not know if we were going to make the tour. However, the driver was absolutely great, very experienced and VERY quiet, which is perfect for such a long drive.

El chófer te lleva rápido para que sea más ameno que ir en bus. No te dan el agua fria que indican al contratarlo, es una faena porque vas contando con eso.

Pick up at agreed time, comfortable clean car, polite and efficient driver, water provided, everything OK. Abu Simbel is, of course, breathtaking.

We stayed in the Nubian Village during our trip to Aswan, and we're glad that Emo Tours was able to accommodate our request for private pick up and drop off. They communicated very well from the start until the end of the tour. We had a 4am tour to Abu Simbel and our driver, Mohammed, arrived on time and was very kind and helpful. He made the 3-hour drive to and from Abu Simbel pleasant, comfortable, and safe. The car is spacious and clean. We did not hire a tour guide and just wanted to sleep in the ride, and the fact that we fell asleep so soundly (while in the middle of the Sahara desert) says that he is a very good driver. It was an easy trip and we're thankful we booked this ride (better than riding a bus)! We highly recommend booking this ride.

We took a day trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel with Sameer as our guide in late July 2022. Firstly, the Abu Simbel temple is magnificent and a must-see! We had a hard time deciding whether the Karnak temple or Abu Simbel temple was more impressive - Abu Simbel does have beautiful, detailed carvings inside, something which isn't there at the Karnak temple anymore. Secondly, our journey with Emo Tours was very comfortable in a large air conditioned van with stop at a delicious lunch spot in Abu Simbel. Finally, and importantly, Sameer was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable, explained all the history to us in detail, and critically gave us a detailed map of the carvings inside the temple. The map was crucial to understand the carvings inside, since guides aren't allowed inside Abu Simbel. Overall, I highly recommend this tour with Emo Tours and Sameer as your guide :)

Quick and safe private ride to Abu Simbel—they picked us up and took us back. There was one bathroom stop on the way down. Abu Simbel was very cool! Also incredibly hot in July 😅 I think, especially for the cost, it was very worth it!

The driver was profesional and very kind. Amira from emo tours helped us a lot with the passports because we could deliver them on time. A good car and punctuality, we gave a good tip for the service as it worths it. You can see the temples uncrowded

This tour was exceptional from start to finish. My guide Irene was so passionate about her city Aswan and knowledgeable, it was a pleasure listening to her. The long drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel passed by so quickly, because she knew so many interesting things about everything we saw on the way to Abu Simbel. I also liked that the tour was customizable and the guide was always considering my needs. I recommend this company a lot for Abu Simbel tours, also because it felt very safe, the driver Hameda did an excellent job and the vehicle was very comfortable.
