Worth the long drive - 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.

Great experience in French - Whalid was a great guide very interesting with a wide knowledge. I would definitely recommend him for a tour.

Private day trip to Abu Simbel - Long drive to and from temples was smooth and allowed catch up nap and appreciation of vast desert. The temples were awesome and explanations by my guide Adham were succinct and illuminating throughout. In addition he was an excellent photographer. Highly recommend the experience.Bucket list trip.

Simply Amazing - The tour was amazing! Our guide was very knowledgeable and he answered all our questions. We would definitely recommend this tour and tour guide.

Highly Recommend Maram and Egypt Unlimited Tours! - I’m glad I booked a private Abu simbel tour with Egypt Unlimited Tour. From the booking to the drop off to the hotel, everything was top notch. The booking and communication with Mr. Mohamed Mostafa was quick, clear, and straightforward. The online payment system also worked flawlessly and securely. I opted to leave our hotel at a later time instead of the 4 am departure to avoid the crowd and it was granted. We met up and got assisted by one of the staff member to get to the van and meet our tour guide for the day. We also got 2 drivers who took turns driving since it was a long drive. We felt safe the whole time and got to stop when we needed a restroom break or snacks/drinks. We had the privilege to be guided by Maram Abdeen! She was sweet, caring, and very accommodating. She made sure my family and I were comfortable the whole time during the commute and during the walk around the temple. She constantly checked on my aunt who had mobility issues and checked all of us if we were okay in the heat. She was also very knowledgable and she taught us the rich history of Abu Simbel. Maram also gave lots of suggestions and tips on restaurants, stores, souvenirs, etc. She also bought us delicious local Egyptian lunch! In the short time we spent with her, we all felt like we were treated like family members, not just another clients. Thank you Maram and the Egypt Unlimited tours! We will use your service again when we visit Egypt.

Excellent tour at Abu Simbel 👍🏻 - Our tour guide name MR. SALEH ARABI is very qualified Egyptologist guide. He also prepare 2 drivers to reach Abu Simbel, and i was very satisfied about it. Best tour in Abu Simbel. Thankyou MR. SALEH ARABI.

Impressive temples! - Fantastic tour, and some of the best temples in Egypt. Mostafa was a fun an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide that helped me understand the history of Egypt and the significance of the temples. Highly recommend for anyone staying in Aswan!

Exploring Egypt - The temples are extraordinary! They are not only beautiful, but are an engineering marvel as well. The time and money spent to come here were well worth it and have provided a lifetime experience!

Worth the long car journey, but our guide was disappointing - 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.

Rushed, formulaic and missed opportunities - Despite being late ourselves due to a misunderstanding if dates, we felt the day was unsafe and formulaic. 1) Our driver frequently drove at 140-150 KPH on 90 KPH desert roads, with frequent heavy braking to avoid other vehicles. 2) Our guide gave a 45 lecture at the start of a 3.5 hour journey and then went to sleep. 3) At the temple...we were hurried (having forgone a break to catch up), given a 10 minute photo lecturer and then our guide went off. 4) It was too far for one temple....a missed opportunity was to fail to join it up with visit to the ASWAN dam and exploration of the numerous geographical and cultural implications of the dam. Felt very rushed with huge missed opportunities along the way.
