To avoid
We had an appointment at 5am on the dock in front of the boat. On our way out no French guide while we had taken the paid French guide option. We waited 1 hour on the platform without any explanation. Once in the bus the advertised journey of 2h has passed to 4h... Arrival at Abu Simbel site still no French guide. We made the tour alone with the guide of the backpackers. Due to the delay in departure, we had no lunch, and the return to the boat was too late 4pm and he did not wait for us!!! We had to catch up with the boat first by bus then take a small fishing boat to dock with our ship which was of course too high we had to climb on the roof of the boat to reach the door of the boat... A catastrophic organization.

Incredible Trip with an Amazing Guide
We had an amazing time. Our tour guide, Ayman was very informative and helpful. He gave us plenty of time to tour the place on our own. Having the right guide makes your trip so much better,

Abu-Simbel and Kom Ompo
We went to Abu-Simbel and Kom Ompo with our guide, Majed Hassan. We had such a great time with him. He explained the place with pictures and some information. We recommended that he go and have a great time as well!

The worst guide ever. Too annoying.
The tour guide was the worst. Egypt Phone Number 1117080322 I only need to explain it in the car, and it doesn't really help much, and I get dropped off at the end at a different place than where I said I wanted to go for lunch. This is not where I want to go. I told him to take me to the right place and all of a sudden he started screaming and he started freaking out. I was so scared. I was tired and I had no choice but to eat at the restaurant, but the foreigners said they would ask for it instead because the menu was different and they would not give us any information that we were entitled to know, like what to ask for or how much it would cost, and it would cost about this much in total. I tell him to give me the details of how much he'll do, and he goes backwards again. The worst guide ever. It was really too annoying. Finally, when I was checking out, I saw that the guide was taking his share out of our money. This guide forces you to write a good review in front of your eyes.

Abu Simbel with Abdul
The tour was great. We got picked up at our ship first thing and were driven to Abu Simbel, where we met our guide. Abduls was very knowledgeable and it helped us feel like we knew what we were looking at.
