- Abu Simbel Temple Complex - As per requested time Tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and drive to the south of Aswan which is around 3hrs drive to enjoy Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan by air-conditioned vehicle. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. 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. Spend around 3 hours there then take the way back to Aswan.

Abu Simbel tour with Abdel Razek. - Abdel Razek was an excellent guide at Abu Simbel, making the visit both informative and enjoyable. His deep knowledge of the site and engaging storytelling brought the history of Ramses II and Nefertari to life. He was patient, answered all our questions, and even helped us find the best spots for photos. His passion for Egyptian history was evident, making the experience truly memorable. Highly recommended!

Thank you. - We purchased the private trip to Abu Simbel for my family, but two relatives got sick to the stomach and we had to cancel. We canceled less than 24h and were very friendly, analyzed the situation and charged us no commission. Very professional and good communication.

Abu Simbel: un'esperienza che vale il viaggio - The trip to Abu Simbel was comfortable and relatively quick, thanks to our driver who kept a good pace, with a short stop halfway. Along the way, we were offered two bottles of water, which was a very nice touch.
We left around 8:15 AM and arrived around 11:45 AM, finding very few people at the site — a real bonus that made the visit even more enjoyable!
We spent about 2/3 hours at Abu Simbel: an absolutely stunning place that is definitely worth the trip.
Our Italian-speaking guide was excellent and very detailed: she explained the history of the temples using photos to help us better understand the site from the outside, and then gave us plenty of free time to explore on our own.
The only downside was that, although the airport was on the way back, when we asked to be dropped off there, they charged us an additional $20, which we felt was a bit excessive.

Tour ok but with a big minus from the organizer - The driver was amazing. The tour at Abu Simbel was good.
However, we booked a Russian speaking guide; only in the evening before the tour we were told that there is no Russian speaking guide but only an English speaking one. „You may cancel if you do not like it“, we were told; as if we could find another guide at 10pm for early next morning, which they knew exactly.
This was, in the end, simply blackmailing, as they waited to inform us until the evening, so we would have lost that day if we had not agreed to go with the English speaking guide.
Not very nice to do that.
Why offering languages that they cannot provide?
