  We had a wonderful day with Omar and Hani on a day trip to Abu Simbel. Omar is very knowledgeable and Hani is a great driver. They were easy to get along with and very accommodating. You could tell they loved Aswan and sharing their knowledge about it. Highly recommend them and this tour.

  If you’re looking for the best tour to Abu simbel from Aswan, stop reading right now and just book this tour. In fact, book it and then contact Hony to also the Aswan airport pickup, the high dam tour the next day, and the road trip to Luxor on the last day. Optional extras are the Nubian village and felucca ride (these aren’t by him so it doesn’t matter which company you booked it with). I went on thirteen tours in Egypt and the reason why this tour is unbeatable is because the car is a comfortable minivan, there’s snacks and drinks all day, the fish lunch is great (and not a commission scam), and the service was overall excellent. He made a joke on the way to Abu simbel that he knows each bump on the road to the temple. I thought it was a figure of speech at first, until I saw him navigate each bump not visible to the idea on the patchier road sections. The road is actually quite treacherous as it’s a narrow two way road with lots of trucks driving at high speeds which you need to overtake. One mistake and you could end up roadkill (saw many wrecked vehicles on the road). With hony, safety is an utmost priority. Unlike all other private tours I attended which were just inflexible or had lunch/shopping scams for commission, this tour allowed me to add an extra attraction for a fee (other tour guides would have just said no or tried to sell you a new tour). An example of how attentive and accommodating he was was shown in one of my ridiculous requests. On the way to Abu simbel, I saw an area of beautiful purple rocks somewhere in the desert, and I told him I wanted to stop by on the way back to collect a purple rock as a souvenir. I was hesitant to ask at first because I had such bad experiences with inflexible guides earlier, but Hony passed no judgment at why I was fascinated by a rock, and searched the roads with me for thirty minutes in the middle of the desert. He even waited outside the car as I chose the most beautiful rock to take home, and he gave me a bag for my rock. The only fault all day was the bag he gave me had some of his leftover bread crumbs from breakfast. And he forgot to tell us until halfway back that we can recline our seats. Ok, time for you to stop reading this review and just book all things Aswan with him. Fyi the best hotel to book is the obelisk Nile hotel Aswan with a view, unless you’re super rich and can afford 500+ usd nightly at the Sofitel cataract. Bye!

  Our driver Hani made this very long journey a true pleasure. The car was immaculate and he was an expert navigator of the sometimes rocky roads. Not only that but he kept us engaged throughout and letting us rest whenever we needed. The tour of Abu Simbel with our tour guide (also named Hani!) was pleasant and interesting but for those who are doing it near the summer months it’s best to arrive early in the day as the heat is oppressive in the middle of the day.

  It was an amazing experience with a very good driver and a very comfortable car. The temple, a must see, was amazing and with a very interesting story. Totally recommend it.
