Rushed through our time at Abu Simbel. Should have been there for another hour to appreciate everything fully.
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

Pretty good, but beware of your communication
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.

Buen viaje
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.

Comfortable alternative to mini-bus ride
Pick up at agreed time, comfortable clean car, polite and efficient driver, water provided, everything OK.
Abu Simbel is, of course, breathtaking.

Best way to travel to Abu Simbel!
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.

Private car journey
Safely driven to and from Abu Simbel. Lovely air conditioned car. Just what we needed. Well worth the long journey.

The best guide and tour to Abu Simbel!
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 :)

Exactly what it says
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...
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

Very enjoyable trip to Abu Simbel
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.
