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.

Felicitaciones a Emani por su profesionalismo. Conoce el español perfectamente, además de sus explicaciones que me hicieron imaginar cada cosa que nos contaba. Tuvimos mucha suerte, la mejor guía que hemos tenido en Egipto.

Wonderful experience !!! We were picked up on time from our cruise ship and driven to Abu Simblel. We stopped half way (on both ways) and kindly offered refreshments. Our guide (Mohamed Gad Allah) was very kind and courteous and explained everything about Abu Simbel, in addition to our many questions. Our transportation vehicle was very comfortable and we arrived back to our ship at the agreed time to join our tour group. All in all, we really recommend this company for this tour and specially our guide Mohamed Gad Allah. Many thanks to Viator and Mohamed Gad Allah !

Emad was an incredible guide - so knowledgeable, informative, and helpful. On one day we saw the Temple of Philae and on the next day we went to Abu Simbel as well as Kom Ombo and Edfu temples. They were magnificent and Emad spent so much time painstakingly explaining everything to me and telling me the stories behind the breathtaking paintings and carvings. I had the best 2 days in Aswan thanks to Emad :)

Nermien was an excellent guide! Wonderful trip to Abu Simbel. I recommend doing just the driver plus tour guide - don’t do the lunch… for what they charge extra per person for lunch it wasn’t worth it … but this didn’t take away from our awesome experience with Nermien!

My guide Samir was awesome! My tour was scheduled to start at 5 AM, which is very early. However, he was so prompt he arrived 10 minutes early. Because I was tired, he allowed me to sleep part of the way to Abu Simbel, but woke me up in time to see the sunrise. It was beautiful. Then it was on to Abu Simbel, where he gave me a bunch of information. More importantly, he gave me a sheet of paper detailing what you see inside each temple as tour guides are not permitted to enter with you. That helped tremendously for me to understand exactly what I was seeing. I was so pleased with the experience I ended up staying with Samir later that afternoon for an Aswan tour of the High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk. I would certainly recommend Samir and his company for a tour of Abu Simbel.

Niermen was superb! We were worried about missing a late flight from Cairo to Aswan so we flew in early the next morning and EMO tours was willing to work with us. Nierman picked us up at the Aswan airport and we got a later start than most people because our flight didn’t get in until 715AM. She took us on the tour to Abu Simbel and was willing to have a later start which meant we finished later than most everyone else, but we still got to do Abu Simbel even though we didn’t get into the airport till after seven. She was so kind. She was worried about the hotel we were staying in which was on elephantine Island. She called the hotel owner so he met us at the ferry on the other side. That was a good thing because I’m not sure we would’ve been able to find the hotel without his guidance. She was very good about answering all of our questions and the only one she couldn’t answer she looked up and told me the answer the next day on another tour that we took with her. She and Emo Tours are great and I would highly recommend them!

Mr Emad Aiad was very pleasant, informative and helpful with many requests - highly recommend him. Also the tour company, Emo Tours, has been very good. I have used them for several tours in Aswan and have others planned in Luxor.

I originally didn’t plan a trip to Abu Simbel from Cairo, but it came highly recommended, so I booked a private tour with Emo Tours and I wasn’t disappointed. I was promptly picked up at my hotel in Cairo and driven to the airport. I was met in Aswan by my very knowledgeable and personable tour guide Makbola. As we drove through the Sahara desert towards the Abu Simbel Temple, Makbola told me the history of the Great Temple if Ramses II and the temple of Nefertiti. The temples were magnificent.. inside and out. After thoroughly exploring the temples we had a grilled fish lunch with fresh fish caught in nearby Lake Nasser. Great trip! Shout out the driver Hani!

The temples were fabulous. Well worth the time to see. The pickup coordination was horrible. They said they would pick us up in the hotel lobby. It took 45 minutes to figure out it was another location.

Your pickup coordination was pathetic. Prior to leaving the us we received an email advising us we would be picked up at our hotel lobby at 6 am. They also asked for passport numbers which we provided. The day before departure they again asked for passport numbers which we again provided. This was by text and phone. At 545am on the day of the tour we were waiting in the lobby. At 615 I began texting and emailing the contract numbers from the day before. Finally at 645 someone advised the pickup was in a different location. We finally made it there and started our tour an hour late. Trip advisor must provide firm contact numbers for the actual guide nlt 24 hours prior to the tour so details can be confirmed. Once on the tour we found the driver and car to be 5 out of 5 and the guide 4 of 5.
