The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate in order to save these temples from the flood. 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. Spend around 3 hours there then take the way back to Aswan.

Abu Simbel!
Driver and punctual and very friendly guides. Everything was wonderful and very well shown and articulated. The lunch was not the best, but the region is lacking in structure. I recommend!

Samir Gaber's trip to Abu Simbel with Emo Tours
Samir Gaber led a wonderful tour for our group of 6 travelers. He filled the 3 hour van ride with great background information and history so we were well prepared for our visit. He timed breaks and snacks so we were comfortable. We felt well taken care of. When we arrived at Abu Simbel, we found the information he shared was invaluable as we toured the temples. Samir gave us an unforgettable day and the experience of a lifetime.

Very nice
Most certainly worth visiting, good tour to do it with. Try leaving at 7am instead of the "usual" 4am or 5am. The place will be almost all to yourselves. A pretty long drive but it passes rather quickly. Good driving skills by our driver. Safe and comfortable. Would recommend.

Good Service and Highly Recommended Abu Simbel Tour
The consultation was very quick and efficient, and even at the stage where cancellation was no longer possible, they kindly accommodated my requests. Their responses via email and WhatsApp were prompt. The driver was skilled, and the vehicle was comfortable and safe. Thanks to them, we had a great Abu Simbel tour. Highly recommended.

All right.
Everything went well with our guide Mustafa. He is very kind, and even bought us breakfast and bottles of water! She is a very passionate and exciting person, I highly recommend. A little more, he deciphered the hieroglyphics on the walls!

Bad experience! Poor Communication and Collection Service Management
Very bad experience, no one showed up to pick us up at the agreed time, and after more than 30 minutes trying to contact without result we were able to do it thanks to a person from the cruise. After picking us up the driver (who admittedly put attitude) we knew nothing about the guide who called us and did not speak our language so we made a trip of almost 4 hours without knowing that we would meet.

Excellent Tour
Excellent tour. Very informative and accommodating. It’s a long drive but worth it when you see the views. We were able to stop for coffee and whatever else was requested I would recommend this tour to anyone!!!
