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.

Very nice experience. Mariam was very professional and accommodating. She was very knowledgeable and thorough. She was able to answer all of our questions. Definitely worth the trip to Upper Egypt!

Driving was long, 3 hours, but the Abu Simble's grand ancient construction was awesome to see. Guide was enthusiastic in his explanation.

The organisation of the driver was great, the car was air conditioned and the journey was quick. The tour guide part however, was a bit lacklustre. We booked a private tour, which ended up not being private as we were grouped with other people and the guide was also doing the tour at the same time with at least 2 other groups that we saw, and it was supposed to be a lot longer than it was. What we learnt was interesting, but only took perhaps 1.5 hours at best, and that is with 50 minutes of free time to roam the temples on our own. It was our bad for booking over Ramadan/Eid and we completely acknowledge that, especially since apparently there were only 3 English guides available for hundreds of people, however, we paid the money for a certain level of experience and it was not delivered. Perhaps the tour operators could have let us know that this would have been the case, then we would have had different views of this experience

Guide inutile : il nous donnait des informations succinctes (pas plus de 5 minutes d'échanges au lieu des 2 heures payées), basiques (dimension du lac Nasser, nombre de statues extérieures > comme si on ne le voyait pas...). A peine terminé avec son speech de base, il courait déjà pour rejoindre un autre groupe. Bref, prenez un guide papier et vous aurez plus d'informations pertinentes pour vous plonger dans l'histoire égyptienne.

Everything went as planned. From the reservation to pick off at the hotel. It was very easy to contact the company by email when needed and they answered everytime. Our flight was 1 h late and the driver patiently waited. He didn’t speak a lot of English but enough to communicate when needed. He was nice,polite and drove carefully. He gave us 1,5h to visit the temples which we thought it was enough for the sight.

As part of a tour of Egypt, we took a day trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel with EMO Tours. We had a private tour that was customized for us - airport pickup and after sightseeing transfer to the hotel in Aswan. Everything worked wonderfully - very good, air-conditioned vehicle with a good driver - good tour guide in Abu Simbel. EMO Tours has organized all this very well.

Our packaged Egypt tour offered an Abu Simbel tour but we opted for this private tour because it was half the price. The private car was definitely faster than a large tourist bus. Our guide was just okay. He helped us navigate the chaotic ticket lines. He provided some limited information in front of the tomb for about 15 minutes. We then spent about an hour on our own exploring. There and back in 9 hours. He asked whether we had water (we said yes) but didn’t offer any. I’d probably use them again for the efficiency but do your own research on the history. Maybe don’t add the guide option.

Excellent guide and super driver. Couldn't have been better. Recommend Highly Guide Herba was very knowledgeable and arranged things so we saw the whole site with little effort. The included lunch was excellent - we asked for Egyptian food and we're not disappointed.

Very kind driver, arrived in time, spoke English, spacious and clean car, Egyptian driving mode a bit crazy for Europeans.

We had a 5am scheduled pickup from our hotel on Elephantine Island in Aswan (a short ferry ride from downtown). Email confirmation clearly stated that the guide will pick us up from the hotel. At 5:20am we received a text message from the tour company that the guide is waiting for us across the river. When I indicated that confirmation was the pickup was supposed to be from the hotel, I was told it was a mistake and they don't pick up from the island. I requested that the guide send a private ferry since this was 1) their mistake, 2) there was no ferry at the time from elephantine Island. The tour operator agreed and said a private ferry will come pick us up in 5 minutes (around 5:35am). That was the last message I ever received from her. Waited until 6am, no ferry in sight. 6am is when the public ferry starts so we took that and met the tour guide and driver who strangely seemed annoyed at us. We get to Abu Simbel and the guide gives her 5-minute spiel on the site and left us with 45 minutes to tour on our own. She clearly had no interest in answering any questions and just wanted to rush back to Aswan. Total trip time was 9 hours, even though the description clearly said 11-12 hours and that we'll have 2-3 hours to tour Abu Simbel. This was why we booked a private tour to be begin with. All in all, a very disappointing experience with the tour company and the tour guide.
