As per requested time will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and drive to the south of Aswan which is around 3hrs drive to enjoy Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan by air-conditioned vehicle. 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.

Great trip! Our driver was very polite and friendly and we really enjoyed the ride. We departed around 7am and arrived around 10:30 and there was literally no one there but us! Amazing sightseeing and organized tour.

Emo Tour's organization of this trip was poor - despite earlier agreement to be picked at the cruise ship lobby, we were told to meet the driver by the roadside by sending a GPS pin. 4:30am in the morning, in a foreign unfamiliar town, waiting by the roadside for a stranger that Emo Tour could not provide name for, is not a pleasant experience especially when the driver is 15 mins late! The driver could just barely speak English, and there was no private guide with him. "Meet at Abu Simbel" was all the driver could tell me when I asked about the guide, with a shrug of "beyond my pay grade". Thankfully, the driver was competent and safely took us there and back, talking on the cell phone on multiple occasions notwithstanding. The "Private Guide" part of this trip is a scam - it entailed meeting someone at Abu Simbel, who spent less than 5 mins in front of the monument reading a spiel that I could have just read from Wiki, and then dispatching us to the monument, so he could "guide" another group - rinse and repeat at the smaller temple. Definitely not worth the money paid, and most definitely, I do not consider this portion "guiding". Left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, but luckily Abu Simbel Temple-Monument was worth the effort to be there!

We where pickedup in a spacious airconditioned van. The two drivers did a good job and brought us safe to our destination and back. The guide awaited us at the site. He explained everything well and we had plenty of time for photos. The tour started at 7:00 and we where back at 16:00. No hassle, no shopping. Thank you!!!

The temple is incredible and it was so worth the effort to go to Aswan and then take the drive there. It is not to be missed.

The driver arrived on time on a very comfy vehicle. We picked up the guide on our way to Abu Simbel and he gave us all the explanations using pictures about the temples and this was a great time saver as we could enjoy the visit with all the knowledge gathered. The lunch was correct. I would recommend this tour.

Abu Simbel is a must see while in Egypt. Our driver was friendly though didn’t speak English well. He picked us up from the hotel lobby and brought us back at night. The drive however is very long, around 3.5 hours each way. Overall it was a ten hour day, so be prepared! For us, the private service was the best option as we were able to choose our pick up time which enabled more flexibility than the group tours (which leave at 5am). The tour “guide” at Abu Simbel didn’t offer much value, he provided some information (his English was not great) then left us to explore the temple on our own (though was trying to rush us as clearly he wanted to leave earlier- we were his last tour of the day).

Abbiamo preso solo il driver, che è stato molto cordiale. Viaggio tutto bene. Abu Simbel merita assolutamente!

Abu Simbel is really an amazing place to see. Our driver and guide were lovely. Our guide did an amazing job describing the site and also how it was saved from the reservoir flood. It’s a long hot day, but definitely worth going. We opted for the lunch and the restaurant our guide took us to was fantastic. Grilled fish was of the best meals we had as it was fresh from the area. Highly recommend!

Excellent service. The operator was easily reachable. The driver was very polite and the ride was good, clean in condition and most of all very cool. Left fr the boat jetty at 6am and arrived around 9.30am. With one stop at the roadside cafe. Upon arrival, was dropped near the entrance. And the driver instructed us where he will wait. Tq Emo Tours Egypt for this service. And to Tripadvisor too.
