We were on a cruise but decided to use Viator for this excursion. We were so pleased we did as the price was so much cheaper and when we arrived at Abu Simbel there were no crowds. Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The road trip was long but comfortable and interesting.

Had a very good experience. Mohamed worked with our cruise line to manage our pickup and provide his contact information which made that process easy. The 2 drivers got us back and forth safely with no delays. Our guide was terrific. Very knowledgeable and answered all our questions and provided lots of insights about what would see inside both temples at Abu Simbel. Certainly would recommend this company.

We had a marvellous day with Mohammed at Abu Simbel… it’s a bit of drive but he gave us so much information on what we would see and answered so many questions about Egypt. We felt completely safe and looked after.

Our guide Mustafa was excellent. My wife and I had a private small van, clean and comfortable. We had 2 drivers, one there and one for the return drive. They picked us up at the cruise ship doc, came on board to get us, and were on time. We’d recommend them.

Our driver was superb, the journey took 3.5 hours each way, and we felt completely safe the whole time. He managed to avoid potholes and uneven road surfaces very well. Our guide took advantage of the journey to have a nap. He gave us a 20 minute photo lecture in front of the temple, which was informative background to moving the temples, but otherwise he was not very engaging. The temples were amazing, but we felt rushed looking round them so we could meet up with our guide for the return journey. To miss crowds we didn’t leave our hotel in Aswan at 8am, in hindsight 7am would have given us more time at Abu Simbel.

It's a long drive to Abu Simbel from Aswan. We arrived after 3.5 hours with one brief stop along the way. The earlier you can leave the better. We had a great guide in Mara. Very knowledgeable and thorough. You will enjoy Abu Simbel but bring a book for the long drive. There is nothing to see along the way but desert. Don't forget to tip your driver cause that is a long day for them behind the wheel.
