The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate in order to save these temples from the flood. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramesses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramses II.The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramesses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one. Spend around 3 hours there then take the way back to Aswan
Ramesses II variously also spelled Rameses[6] or Ramses, 'Ra is the one who bore him' or 'born of Ra', Koinē Greek: Ῥαμέσσης, romanized: Rhaméssēs, c. 1303 BC – July or August 1213; reigned 1279–1213 BC[7]), also known as Ramesses the Great, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt. He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom, itself the most powerful period of Ancient Egypt.[8] His successors and later Egyptians called him the "Great Ancestor".
This article is about the Egyptian queen and wife of Ramesses II. For other persons by this name, see Nefertari (disambiguation). Nefertari Nefertari, also known as Nefertari Meritmut, was an Egyptian queen and the first of the Great Royal Wives (or principal wives) of Ramesses the Great.[1] Nefertari means 'beautiful companion' and Meritmut means 'Beloved of [the goddess] Mut'. She is one of the best known Egyptian queens, among such women as Cleopatra, Nefertiti, and Hatshepsut, and one of the most prominent not known or thought to have reigned in her own right. She was highly educated and able to both read and write hieroglyphs, a very rare skill at the time. She used these skills in her diplomatic work, corresponding with other prominent royals of the time. Her lavishly decorated tomb, QV66, is one of the largest and most spectacular in the Valley of the Queens. Ramesses also constructed a temple for her at Abu Simbel next to his colossal monument there.

We booked private car for 2 people to go on day trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel and return. Service was great, driving safe, with a very nice and polite driver, well mannered who didn’t hesitate to share with us some insights about Abu Simbel despite that allowed us to deep dive on some knowledge we already had. Thank you again :)

Everything very nice and precise. Means of transport and driver impeccable. The guide was supposed to be in Italian but due to a problem it was in English, but she was super clear, kind, and helpful. On the way back, he had us add an extra to the excursion by taking us to a typical Egyptian perfume essence market where they also gave us a free massage. We bought some essences but without being forced to, and the manager of the market was not pushy. Highly recommended

We had a great time visiting Abu Simbel. Our driver was very professional and courteous. We stopped at a nice reststop on the way there and back for a coffee break. The car was comfortable and air conditioned. When we arrived we had plenty of time to explore on our own at our own pace. Definitely recommend!

Communication unfluid with the supplier, you had to go behind to give us the information about the pickup. About the driver, what to say... to my boyfriend overtaking the seat and giving him a cushion to make him comfortable, to me without leaving me even the legroom.

Great experience! Our driver Abodo picked us up from our hotel on time. He was a fantastic driver, the drive was seamless and comfortable and we had a few chance to stop for a bite and washroom. He didnt rush us at all. Highly recommend!!

We would highly recommend Emo Tours Egypt - everything about the tour was beyond expectations. Abu Simbel itself was of course fantastic and well worth the long drive, and there are many companies offering tours, so my review is about Emo Tours. Communication from the company was excellent, instant response to questions on WhatsApp. We organised the pick up point (a cruise boat in our case) directly with the company via WhatsApp. The pick up was on time, the car was almost new and very comfortable, and our driver Mohammed was a very good, safe driver. With the comfortable car and very good straight roads we got to Abu Simbel in 3.5 hours including a 15 minute coffee stop (even quicker on the way back). Our guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable and he gave us a lot of very useful and interesting information in perfect English before we entered the temples. Both guide and driver were friendly and courteous. Overall an excellent company and tour, hence highly recommended

Car arrived on time, no pressure for us to hurry our trip. Very comfortable and exceptionally clean car. We had a 7am pick up which was perfect as the crowds were leaving as we arrived at around 10.45.

The driver was respectful. Arrived promptly. He didn't make me feel uncomfortable as a solo female traveller. He's also a careful driver, avoiding road bumps and potholes. He sign posted me to the ticket stand and didn't just drop me off at the car park. He did not smoke in the car. I will recommend Mohammed from Nubia. I had read bad reviews about Emo tours prior to travelling and I was avoiding them. I only realised when the driver arrived that it was an emo tours tour. I found Abu Simbel underwhelming and not worth the hype. I prefer Karnak and Luxor Temples the statues and every other thing.
