Meh
The trip to abu simbel was fine, except that the guide took on an extra 4 people. He said a friend was Ill or unable to do the other people's tour so he included them on ours. It was not a problem, but is was not technically a private tour. Its a very long way to go, and the temples are awesome, but the trip is terribly long. A guide is really not required at all, and the lunch is a rip off.

Lovely day trip to abu simbel
Had a great time our guide Zak was very entertaining - obviously it is a long way so be prepared for a long drive.
We did not book lunch but ended up having it and it was delicious much better than other tour lunches we have had on the trip.

Agréable visite à Abu Simbel
Nous avons passé un agréable moment à Abu Simbel, notre guide a été d’une grande gentillesse, et nous a appris pleins de chose tant sur le site que sur la vie nubienne. Quant à notre chauffeur, celui-ci nous a conduit jusqu’au temple en toute sécurité.
Merci à eux deux.

Le trajet s’est très bien...
Le trajet s’est très bien passé avec un bon chauffeur mais nous sommes très déçus du guide. Nous sommes arrivés après plus de 3h de trajet et nous avons eu le droit à 20 minutes d’explication aléatoires à extérieur du temple devant quelques photos. Nous avons dû faire le reste de la visite par nous même en tachant de nous souvenir des explications données devant (certainement qu’il n’était même pas habilité à rentrer car pas certifié). Le guide ne savait pas répondre à nos questions et nous a pressé pour la visite : 1h30 maximum. C’est peu pour 7h de trajet. Dommage

Maravillas del mundo una tras otra. Es inesplicable hacerte una idea de cómo pudo construirse monumentos tan impresionan
Un sueño convertido en realidad, un lugar lleno de historia que no termina nunca, mires donde mires hay historia. Lo único negativo es la pobreza de la población y sus infraestructuras.

I cannot recommend them!
The drivers were nice! That’s the beginning and end of what was positive. We were supposed to have our own private expert Egyptologist guide as part of our trip, traveling with us, which we paid extra money for and instead we were lumped together with another group. The guide was awful, didn’t wait for us and instead followed the other two people who he came there with from Aswan and you could barely understand his English. And to top it off he was trying to upsell us into buying some silver items at the end of our trip. He ruined our abu simbel trip and the price of $180 for 4 people from Aswan to Abu simbel is not worth it if you can find another way. The drivers also asked us to write a positive Google review 20 minutes before the end of our trip and told us they have to take a screenshot of it…smh. I was so excited for this Abu simbel visit and it was the worst visit of our 10 day Egypt trip.

Apart from some confusion...
Apart from some confusion about the actual meeting place, the trip went very well. The guide gave us a full introduction to Abu Simbel before we arrived and very attentive to our needs.

Long Drive is Worth It
Abu Simbel is definitely worth the drive from Aswan. It is a 3 and a half hour drive, though. There were only the 2 of us in the backseat of a Hyundai Elantra. It was a bit cramped. We did stop about 2 hours into the drive for a stretch and WC break. We were supplied with a bottle of water.
Our guide was good and gave a decent overview of the 2 structures at Abu Simbel. Guides aren’t allowed to guide inside.
On the way back, we stopped again for a stretch and WC break.
We had a choice of lunch in Abu Simbel or in Aswan. We chose Aswan. The Grand Restaurant and Cafe is less than nice. Standard Egyptian fare. You do have to pay for your drinks. I don’t remember being told about that ahead of time.

Great experience at Abu Simbel & Philae Temple
The private tour of Philae Temple and Abu Simbel was fantastic. Marwan was very educational and helped me add Philae to the itinerary, which cost an extra $85. I learned a great deal and navigated the sites more effectively because of him. The ride from Aswan is long, but the driver and guide showed great hospitality. The tilapia lunch was excellent. Their history and insight were unmatched compared to other tours I have taken. I got great photos. I highly recommend this tour.

Très beau temple, a faire...
Très beau temple, a faire lors d'un passage en Egypte.
Il y a environ 3 heures de route depuis Aswan, soit 6 heures aller retour.
Il est préférable d'arriver tôt.
Les guides ne peuvent pas rentrer
