Must visit temple when in Egypt
Magdy was an excellent guide and host for us during our visit to Abu Simbel. Despite the early morning start the drive was used to explain the history of the temple and we made a short stop to admire the sunrise in the desert which was a nice touch. Magdy answered questions and asked us about the earlier time we had spent in Egypt to help us understand and connect our knowledge, and shared more information on Aswan and the Nubian people from the local area.
Magdy's passion for Egypt's history and for his local area is infectious and we booked a later tour with him to visit the Nubian village by boat tour later the same day.
Our driver was also very helpful too and I would fully recommend this tour for anyone!

Pure Beauty
We were welcomed with new car, which provide us comfortable trip for 3 hour distance. The driver and the guide are helpful. Abu Simbel is pure beauty and the most beautiful temple in Egypt and the distance worth to see it.

Comfortable
Our driver(Hamoud?- Don’t know how to spell) and guide(Mohammed) was very friendly and the whole trip was pleasant and refreshing. Maybe because where I live(LA) has extremely high cost of living, it felt that the deal was very good.

ガイドを信用するかしないか
ガイドはピックアップ時間通りにきて 運転も安全で良く 無事に素晴らしいアブシンベル神殿を見学できたのは 満足でした。
しかし 予定になかった ランチに案内して 私達がガイドの食事代も負担と言う のは納得できません。
しかも
一人１５ドルの食事
かなり ローカルな店でとても１５ドルはするとは思えませんでした。
しかも ガイドは 食事をしていない感じで 帰りのトイレ休憩でポテトチップスを買い 運転中に食べていました。
カードは使えず ガイドが建て替えて支払ったので本当の金額がわからないです。
なんだか 騙された気分でした。
せっかくのアブシンベル神殿行きが
食事で嫌な気分にはなり とても残念です

Totally worth it
Our guide José was great story teller, knowledgeable, funny and nice. We had a private car from Aswan to Abu Simbel, so we chose to start at 8am. We met the guide on Abu Simbel, who gave a great explanation of maybe around one hour, and then we had almost an extra hour for photos and souvenirs. The driver was also super nice, even bought tea for us. We were back in Aswan around 6pm.

Stunning temples in a stunning setting
Abu Simbel temples are truly amazing, and the story of how they were saved from the rising waters is inspiring, not to mention a feat of incredible engineering. Worth the considerable drive from Aswan.

What an amazing, exciting, historical and knowledgeable experience
It was amazing, exciting, historical and knowledgeable experience. The driver was quire friendly and ontime. The ride to Abu simbel was astounding. The guide Sameer was very knowledgable and gave me enough time to explore by myself and take photos.

Worth visiting Abu Simbel...
Worth visiting Abu Simbel temples? Absolutely.
Worth getting a guide? Not really. You get a 10 minutes explenation since the guide is not allowed inside the temples so basicaly you will walk around and have some nice pics but thats it about the guide. The price does not justify the trip.

Great day trip!
We had a very good driver and guide. Our guide Mariam gave us a lot of information on Abu Simbel and also answered a lot of our questions along the way. She was very considerate! Thank you so much, Mariam and Ragab.
