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.

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.

Totally worth it - Our guide José was great story teller, knowledgeable, funny and nice. We had a private car from Aswan to Abu Simbel, so we chose to start at 8am. We met the guide on Abu Simbel, who gave a great explanation of maybe around one hour, and then we had almost an extra hour for photos and souvenirs. The driver was also super nice, even bought tea for us. We were back in Aswan around 6pm.

Stunning temples in a stunning setting - Abu Simbel temples are truly amazing, and the story of how they were saved from the rising waters is inspiring, not to mention a feat of incredible engineering. Worth the considerable drive from Aswan.

Worth visiting Abu Simbel... - Worth visiting Abu Simbel temples? Absolutely. Worth getting a guide? Not really. You get a 10 minutes explenation since the guide is not allowed inside the temples so basicaly you will walk around and have some nice pics but thats it about the guide. The price does not justify the trip.
