Abu Simbel Temple
Full day
As per requested time will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and drive to the south of Aswan which is around 3hrs drive to enjoy Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan by air-conditioned vehicle. 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 - elaborate, but a MUST of a Nile cruise - easily done with this provider

Abu Simbel -the offset rock temple - is one of the highlights of a Nile cruise. The arrival by minibus actually took 3 hours as we left only at 4:45 and not at 4:00 as recommended. The checkpoint due to the border with Sudan has taken 1/2 hour with a sharply increasing trend for later vehicles. We can fully recommend our provider: Effortful and timely contact before the excursion, punctual at pickup, very good drivers (2 alternating / supporting drivers), polite, clean minibus, drink (1water / person), competent guidance of a guide in Abu Simbel

The driver arrived 45 minutes later. They don't answer whatsapp or phone. Until the end you don't know if driver will come.

Abu Simble

Abu Simble was great and definitively worth visiting. A highlight of our Egypt trip. The tour operator communicated very poorly, we were not picked up at the arranged place, we left an hour late. The driver played with his cell phone while driving and kept the car running while taking gas. Abu Simble is a must visit, but not with Emor Tours Aswan.

Super Place

Trip arranged by Magic Carpet. It went very well and the Guide was excellent provided by Magic Carpet Egypt. It is worth a trip if you visit Eqypt

Must see sight and excellent experience with your company.

Abu Simbal is breathtaking. The 3 hour journey at 4.30am to get there is worth it. The tour experience from Pickup, tour guide knowledge, and drop off was top notch. We were on a deadline to get back to the cruise before 2.30pm. The tour company made it happen.

Stay away from this company, very dishonest about all details!

The company is terrible about running this business, they basically sold us to cheap contractors and lied about many details!!! Never book them!! We booked for an English tour guide and a driver, while they arrived 15 minutes late with two guys speak no English at all, claiming they need two drivers for the trip, and they ran out of time to find a tour guide on the road. The owner of the company came over and threatened us if we were not happy, we should just get off the car and cancel. When we arrived at the temple, we were directed to another guy that barely speaks English, and he led us to ANOTHER local English tour guide who only spent 15 mins with us the most, briefly talked outside the temple, and left us wondering alone inside. He also told us his job is done, and we needed to walk out to the parking lot to find our car. We waited for almost 30 minutes in-the parking lot for the car, anxiously contacting the company to locate the car, they don’t know where it is either. They arrived late, and the drivers even used Google translate to blame us for being late! The whole trip is full of lies and cheating. This company is not willing to be honest at all! ! Stay away from it!

Professional driver for transport to Abu Simbel and back

I went for the driver only option. The person was very professional, arrived on time and could speak reasonably well English. There was a stop on the way and back. Ample time was given to explore both the temples. All in all good experience.

Ein Wort: Perfekt Der...

Ein Wort: Perfekt Der Fahrer hat mich direkt am Schiff abgeholt und auch wieder abgesetzt. Sehr angenehme Fahrt in der privaten Limousine. Abu Simbel ist ein must see. Der Guide vor Ort hat gut erklärt und Zeit für die eigene Besichtigung eingeplant. Gerne wieder.
