Must visit temple when in Egypt - Magdy was an excellent guide and host for us during our visit to Abu Simbel. Despite the early morning start the drive was used to explain the history of the temple and we made a short stop to admire the sunrise in the desert which was a nice touch. Magdy answered questions and asked us about the earlier time we had spent in Egypt to help us understand and connect our knowledge, and shared more information on Aswan and the Nubian people from the local area. Magdy's passion for Egypt's history and for his local area is infectious and we booked a later tour with him to visit the Nubian village by boat tour later the same day. Our driver was also very helpful too and I would fully recommend this tour for anyone!

Pure Beauty - We were welcomed with new car, which provide us comfortable trip for 3 hour distance. The driver and the guide are helpful. Abu Simbel is pure beauty and the most beautiful temple in Egypt and the distance worth to see it.

Comfortable - Our driver(Hamoud?- Don’t know how to spell) and guide(Mohammed) was very friendly and the whole trip was pleasant and refreshing. Maybe because where I live(LA) has extremely high cost of living, it felt that the deal was very good.

A wonder the temples of Abu Simbel - Very nice the temples, Asuan’s transfer to abu simbel very well, good van, got a rim but all right, the only thing we didn’t like is that the Guide, a gentleman I don’t remember his name, brought us running because apparently he is affected by the sun and heat, explained and sold us some replica photos, all in no more than 15 minutes, and already left us in the temples and left, took us the driver to eat at a small restaurant near the temple, but the Guide was gone, we battled something for food, but we liked the very simple but traditional and good tasting food, the driver Ahmad always very attentive and friendly, a good boy.

DO NOT BOOK. Worst experience in Egypt by a mile - Unfortunately this tour was extremely disappointing and not worth the money. I feel this is an excessive price for what we received. 1st throughout the whole tour we do not receive any water or once even asked if we wanted water. First time experiencing this in any tour we have ever taken. We understood the long drive to Abu Simbel from Aswan but our tour guide just slept the whole way to the temple. Then upon arrival we were asked to buy our tickets even though they were included in the price. Once we shown proof of this our tour guide all of a sudden said ‘oh yes it is included’ Then when we got to the temple we were given a short explanation of the temple which to be honest I think Wikipedia had more information than what we received. Then our tour guide left us to take some photos. Upon meeting back with our tour guide we had lunch included so they arranged lunch at the cafe at the temple. With our dietary requirements we had very little choice and the food was not good for what we would have expected from other places in Egypt. Then we drove back to Aswan where again our tour guide slept all the way until we got to Aswan. I would not recommend to book this trip at all. If you want to go to Abu Simbel just book a driver and nothing else as this is pretty much what we got from this tour. Also would recommend to buy the little book from the temple as it shows some pretty cool photos of how they moved the temple.

Do not book - The experience was not what we expected. When we arrived to Abu Simbel the driver offered to take us have lunch to a restaurant but we told them that since were leaving the next day, we wanted to have lunch at a place where they accepted credit card, he was very insistent on taking us to an ATM. The tour guide told us not to worry and that the driver would take us in Aswan to a place to have lunch before dropping us off at the airport, when we arrived we told the driver that and he told us that there were no restaurants and just dropping us off in the airport, the driver did not speak English at all, and what the guide told us was not true leaving us 2 hours before the “10 hour” mark. There was nothing to eat in the airport. Also, the tour guide in Abu Simbel gave us a really short explanation and just let us wonder around by ourselves, it would have been the same if we didn’t have the guide. We were just following him and he was silent from when we arrived and when we left, we just had a 10 min explanation in a shade and told us that he would stay there while we walked arround and had to ask other tourists for photos. Very bad experience. This was the most expensive tour we had in Egypt and we had the worst experience. Don’t recommend booking with this company, we explained this to them and just answered with a sorry message.
