Absolutely worth it - We had a great day trip from Luxor to Abu Simbel. It takes about 6 hours one way. If you like to see Abu Simbel, but stay in Luxor this is a great opportunity. We were picked up in our hotel at 4 am and have received some little souvenirs. Payment for fast admission to the sight can be done beforehand.
The driver didn't speak much English, but was very friendly and it was possible to communicate via Google Translate. He also had some excellent music taste so we could listen to lots of Egyptian music on the long drive. There had been a stop at a gas station for toulets and beverages.
Wr met the tour guide Ahmed at Abu Simbel, he was knowledgeable and has given us some interesting insights on the monuments. We can recommend this tour a lot if you want to spend two hours at Abu Simbel and are okay to have a 12 hours drive for that, in my opinion it's absolutely worth it.

Amazing!! - The temple itself it very beautiful, it was very hot inside and busy but absolutely worth the visit to experience it in person, Mohammed was very welcoming to us and even took us to spots that we requested outside the tour like authentic sugar cane juice, we stopped along the way to take pictures of the rising sun. whatever we asked for he was very accommodating

Very satisfied! Great your ! - My tour guide, Hamid is very kind and he has not only a lots acknowledgement of temple’s history but also of many things we can see in the way to temple.
My driver, Mano is also kind. He doesn’t speak English much but we communicated with google translation.
One of Hamid friend said Hamid is the best and i am lucky for it. I agree with him !

The best day trip ever!! - I had a great day trip! It took 7 and a half hours to get from Luxor to Abu Simbel Temple, but the view from the windows kept me entertained. I stayed awake the entire trip and enjoyed the whole day. At the start of the trip, I received a bottle of water, potato chips, and some souvenirs. We had three breaks, as I recall. The driver, Felip, was friendly and a nice guy. Even though he couldn’t speak English, we had a great conversation using a translator app. I chose this tour because I wanted to stay in Luxor. It took 7 and a half hours, but it was worth it! When I saw the Abu Simbel Temple, it kept giving me goosebumps—it was amazing! I’m glad I chose this tour! Thank you so much!

Thanks to the very knowledgeable and empathetic Guide Hani and the driver Mokhiles. Fabulous cuisine at the New Abu Simbel restaurant with exceptional staff. Thanks also for the wonderful gift that always strikes us tourists in the heart! I'LL GO BACK TO EGYPT BECAUSE I WAS IN LOVE WITH IT

Awesome! - This Abu Simbel experience was awesome! I was picked up from Luxor on time and driven to Abu Simbel with no hassle. My guide Waleed Adnan (aka the Nubian Ramses II) was very nice and informative. He gave me lots of free time to explore for myself also. I fully recommend this tour.

1時間以上待ってくれました。 - ガイドのモハリスさん(mokhiles)が凄く良かったです。私がリモートワークが入ったため、朝の出発が一時間近く遅れたのですが、ずっと待っていてくれました。
その後、道中美味しいレストランにも連れて行ってくれて良い思い出になりました。 ちょっと上乗せもあったかもしれませんが(笑)
Our guide, Mokhiles, was really nice. Because I had to work remotely, our morning departure was delayed by almost an hour, but he waited for us the whole time.
After that, he took us to some delicious restaurants along the way, which became a great memory.

Temples gorgeous, but not worth this kind of tour - Pros: the temples are gorgeous
Will I recommend it?: absolutely not (in my honest opinion), even if I am a fanatic of ancient egypt history.
Cons: 16 hours on car with the same driver!! (obviously he was tired, and that is a dangerous situation). You spend all day on car! You don't have a proper meal during the trip, there's no time (you have a schedule). You have 2 hours exactly at the temples (even if you ask to take only one more picture with both temples, the guide will not permit, because the driver is waiting). The explanation are pretty basic with some other few details).
I knew It will be a difficult trip, but I didn't imagine how much.
There are more cheaper and not so tiring options (cruise, stay a day at a hotel there...), even your hotel can provide you with better and cheaper options.
Next time, I will do it on other way for sure, even if I travel a lot, this was too much.
