Excellent Driver and Tour Guide for Philae Temple. Disappointed with the Abu Simbel experience - Excellent Driver and Tour Guide for Philae Temple. Was very disappointed with the Abu Simbel experience and the way we were treated by the guide even though we paid for the premium explorer option. Excellent driver, very patient respectful and drives safely. He informed of all upcoming activities along the way and ensure there is a stop between long drives. Abu Simbel temple was beautiful and a must see however, we paid for a private tour and we expected the tour guide to stay with us and physically guide around the temple complex. Noting that guides aren't allowed in the temples, however we observed many guides providing explanations about the temples prior to tourists entering so they knew what they were looking at and understood the history. We were very disappointed to learn that the tour guide asked us to go and walk around the complex with no explanation prior and then spent 15 mins when we returned to meet him at the visitor centre explaining what we had seen using printed pictures. Our guide however for the Philae temple was wonderful, she took the time to make sure we understood the history of the temple and had the best experience. Thank you Fatima for the care you took with us, you could clearly see how knowledgeable you are and how much pride you take in your work!
