Highlights
- Abu Simbel Temple Complex - As per requested time Tour guide 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 experience - Had an absolutely fantastic experience!
The car was comfortable, driver was super polite and friendly and was actually working as a guide while driving ;) driving was as safe as it can be in Egypt :)
The guide was great, very knowledgeable, gave us all the story/facts and allowed plenty of time for us to explore the area. Really recommend!

Nice trip - We could set our departure time, so I chose 8 am, later to avoid the crowds. Our driver picked us up at our hotel, the Sonesta Nouba, right on time.
Our car had good AC and tinted windows, and was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We slept on the way there.
Our young driver was on the phone a fair amount, but was quietly whispering, so it didn’t bother us. He was nice, and bought us drinks and a snack on way back.
We arrived Abu Simbel at 11:15 am, and it wasn’t too crowded. We spent about 2.5 hours there, leaving at 1:45 pm, and were back in Aswan at 5 pm.

Great visit to Abu Simbel - The overall experience was good from the drive to the tour guide that we met in Abu Simbel. Important to note that guides are not allowed inside of the temple so the explanation is given outside with pictures, you could potentially only go with the transfer and read about the details in advance of the visit

Good experience - We went on a private tour to Abu Simbel. This tour company is very responsive and answered my questions and requests fast and easy. They sent driver 4:30am to pick us up and drove almost 4 hours each way. They also provided snacks and water on the way back which was very helpful after a long half day at the Temple. Overall, they did a pretty good job!

Really great experience with good pri e - Very wonderful experience! Our driver was great, he did stop for us to take lunch and was concerned with our well-being. He was very nice. The guide at Abu Simbel was great. I would like to emphasize that the way they do the explanation, showing us pictures outside the temple, is just great. We have the time to explore the temples in our own time. If we have any questions after seeing the temple, the guide will explain them to us. This method of guidance is great.

Great tour - The tour was great. Since we chose the last date, we weren't with that many people in Abu Simple.
The trip and the driver were great, although long, but OK

Poor experience - Dangerous Driver of a comfy but very high mileage car drives 6h in the desert at 150 kph without seat belt and using his phone most of the time. Did not stop on rest point on the way back and dropped us at a closed down mcdonald's. I'd recommend using a shared bus instead.
