Ideal way to visit Abu Simba
Hassan was knowledgeable, personable and we felt very comfortable and at ease with our journey to Abu Simba. We're very glad we chose to be driven out to Abu Simba instead of flying. The drive gave us the opportunity to learn more about modern Egypt. The growth and development of modern infrastructure and residential development was very interesting and a welcome contrast to the wonder of the antiquities. The stops along the way were appreciated and we'll timed. The vehicle comfortable and well maintained. We were very pleased with our first Viator experience.

Khaled -Aswan tour
Visiting Aswan and Abu Simbel Temple was one of our destination to visit which was organised by tour. Khaled was our tour guide. He was excellent informative good communicator and made it easy to understand the history behind each site we visited. We loved it.

Unique place to visit
Enjoyed the trip. The place is unique in terms of history, the trip is around 10 hrs. Where you spend most of is is on the road (around 7. 5 hours for both ways).
Overall I had a great experience.

Ramses the great. Truly inspirational
We booked a private car and guide for this trip to Abu Simble. The drive was 3 and a half hours each way, but well worth it. The Temple of Ramses 11 was incredible but our guide Mofasta made the experience even better. He was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out so many things we would have missed. Mofasta went on to be our guide for 4 more days, and was with us on the Nile cruise taking us through Philae Temple, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak, Luxor, Valley of the Kings, and Hatshepsut temple. Go with a guide for sure and if you're lucky get Mofasta!

Turning back the time machine
Both Mohammed and Maram were excellent. Mohammed tried his best to accommodate us and Maram is an excellent guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Used them for both Aswan and Luxor

Gorgeous. Go Stay here
This is a great experience. The drive is insane and the ruins are really well maintained with a lack of overages touts one usually finds. I would advise if you can, stay here overnight. It's on Lake Nassar and the area is cleaner than most, the hotels looked really nice

Wonderful day trip to Abu Simbel with Ahmed
We took a day-trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan with Ahmed, and had a fantastic day!
Ahmed is a wonderful guide who is incredibly knowledgeable and academic when it comes to the subject-matter, and can easily handle the (many, many) questions that we threw his way. Despite the fact that we had already been on several other tours before we met Ahmed, we learned a lot from him and he always had some new and interesting piece of information to share with us.
The car journey from Aswan to Abu Simbel, although long at 3 hours, was very comfortable and the car was clean and modern. We also really enjoyed spending time just chatting with Ahmed in the car, both about ancient Egyptian history but also just about life in Egypt today. Ahmed is very analytical in how he sees and describes the world around him, and we learned a lot! He's also exceptionally friendly and easy to get along with!
Thank you very much indeed Ahmed, for a wonderful day trip. Next time we are back in Aswan, we'll be calling you for more! :)

Great guide & tour organisation
We had a great time! We got their contact through our friends' recommendation and were not disappointed.
Mohammad Mostafa was our main contact and he was very helpful - we decided to go on this trip super last minute but he arranged things quickly and smoothly. He was always very responsive and everything was clear, transparent and on time.
As of the day, we asked Ahmed to be our guide based on our friends' good experience, and he was indeed great - very good knowledge, very clear explanations, also very friendly and fun to talk to about lots of aspects of life and culture both ancient & modern Egypt. We were already on our 3rd guided-tour in and around Luxor/Aswan area by the time we met Ahmed, yet we still got a lot of new information from him. The car we had was very clean & new, and the drivers were nice, too. Given it was Covid-period, we were also happy that all of them were wearing masks properly on the day.
All in all, very happy to recommend!
