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.

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.
