Rushed, formulaic and missed opportunities
Despite being late ourselves due to a misunderstanding if dates, we felt the day was unsafe and formulaic.
1) Our driver frequently drove at 140-150 KPH on 90 KPH desert roads, with frequent heavy braking to avoid other vehicles.
2) Our guide gave a 45 lecture at the start of a 3.5 hour journey and then went to sleep.
3) At the temple...we were hurried (having forgone a break to catch up), given a 10 minute photo lecturer and then our guide went off.
4) It was too far for one temple....a missed opportunity was to fail to join it up with visit to the ASWAN dam and exploration of the numerous geographical and cultural implications of the dam.
Felt very rushed with huge missed opportunities along the way.

Private day trip to Abu Simbel
Long drive to and from temples was smooth and allowed catch up nap and appreciation of vast desert. The temples were awesome and explanations by my guide Adham were succinct and illuminating throughout. In addition he was an excellent photographer. Highly recommend the experience.Bucket list trip.

Highly Recommend Maram and Egypt Unlimited Tours!
I’m glad I booked a private Abu simbel tour with Egypt Unlimited Tour. From the booking to the drop off to the hotel, everything was top notch. The booking and communication with Mr. Mohamed Mostafa was quick, clear, and straightforward. The online payment system also worked flawlessly and securely.
I opted to leave our hotel at a later time instead of the 4 am departure to avoid the crowd and it was granted. We met up and got assisted by one of the staff member to get to the van and meet our tour guide for the day. We also got 2 drivers who took turns driving since it was a long drive. We felt safe the whole time and got to stop when we needed a restroom break or snacks/drinks.
We had the privilege to be guided by Maram Abdeen! She was sweet, caring, and very accommodating. She made sure my family and I were comfortable the whole time during the commute and during the walk around the temple. She constantly checked on my aunt who had mobility issues and checked all of us if we were okay in the heat. She was also very knowledgable and she taught us the rich history of Abu Simbel. Maram also gave lots of suggestions and tips on restaurants, stores, souvenirs, etc. She also bought us delicious local Egyptian lunch!
In the short time we spent with her, we all felt like we were treated like family members, not just another clients.
Thank you Maram and the Egypt Unlimited tours! We will use your service again when we visit Egypt.

Escursione ad Abu Simbel
Una esperienza culturalmente importante, la guida parlava un discreto italiano. L'organizzazione è stata eccellente, l'autista è venuto a prelevarci fin dentro il battello, il viaggio verso Abu Simbel e ritorno è stato lungo ma comodo. Nel complesso da consigliare.

Exploring Egypt
The temples are extraordinary! They are not only beautiful, but are an engineering marvel as well. The time and money spent to come here were well worth it and have provided a lifetime experience!

Nice trip with good tour operator and guide
This private tour was better than I expected, it took us only three hours to get there, and the guide was friendly and efficient, the temples are majestic.
