Meh

The Abu Simbel temple is magnificent, but we did not like our guide, Emad Aiad, who gave us explanations in the minibus at 4 a.m. when we were barely awake. Moreover, we gave him a tip, and he asked us for a larger amount. The visit was too quick for our taste; we would have liked to enjoy the place more, especially after a 4-hour drive, but everything was rushed. That said, I recommend this temple, which is gigantic and impressive!

Nice time in Abu Simbel

We spent the morning from 3.30 am to 2 pm for going from ASSUAN to Abu Simbel. The guide explained us the story of the temple while we were in the car in order to give us free time to explore the temple. It was super nice!

Very good

Trip was worth it. Very beautiful place to visit. Smooth ride - just lots of mosquitoes as it's early in the morning. Guide and driver are very good, on time, helpful and knowledgeable.

The best option

The organization was excellent. Hazem Sayed was attentive to everything from beginning to end and was very kind — so much so that I booked another tour with them. We had Ahmed Achraf as our guide, and he explained all the history in great detail and was attentive to our questions. I 100% recommend them.

Smooth running

Lots of road for about 2 hours on site, but not too much choice considering the distance! pick-up and drop-off service at the hotel impeccable! Experienced driver and good considering the traffic... competitive rate!

It's been a good trip.

Andrew sent was our guide I made a last minute reservation, but they were very courteous. The pick-up point arrival time was accurate and comfortable along the way. I recommend it to others.

Emad great guide

Emad was an excellent guide for the Abu Simbel Tour. He speaks fluent English and his knowledge of the Egyptian Story is very great. He explained everything in details, and thanks to him we take home a great memory. Thank you Emad Aiad

Excellent

Booked tour with no guide Easy pick up and drop off in shared mini van (clean, modern, spacious, AC) However additional $10 charge for pick up per person from our hotel in new aswan. We had 1hr 45 mins to look around which was enough time.

Easy, Well-Planned Day to Abu Simbel

Communication was smooth from start to finish, and everything was well organized. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit to Abu Simbel even more enjoyable. The van transfer was comfortable, and the hotel pickup made everything very convenient.
