What To Expect
Abu Simbel Temple Complex
As per requested time 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.

5.00Great tour with Samir! Made our long drive to Abu Simbel feel short as he kept us engaged with information (after a well deserved nap from an early morning pickup). He had great photo material so we knew what to expect when we went to Abu Simbel. He took plentiful and great pictures at the site. He was engaged with us the whole trip. His driver was also awesome in getting there and back quickly. Thanks for a great tour!

5.00First we had very bad experience with our Guide in our Nile Cruise Boat. Until I found this Travel. Tarek the Bos in Cairo organise trip for us and we get Mohamed Abdu & another Tarek the driver. so kind and patient. Tarek drove patient long distance to Abu Simbel which is 3-3,5 Hours one way distance. And Mohamed the Guide explained us very good. They are very friendly & Patient. My husband always need time to take pictures, they wait whole day for us. They really make our holiday comfortable. And we had lunch tasty food. Thank you both of them for the hard work. We ll back again one day for sure will contact this Travel. Thanks aloot.

5.00A very big day. We added on a visit to Philea and the dam. Nothing was a problem for Simar. He was very knowledgeable and too so many photos for us If you want a guide and a photography in one this is the man for you Our driver was very good too and the car was one of the most comfortable rides I’ve had in Egypt Overall it was a long day but the site were well worth it. Because of the great driving a sleep in the car was very relaxing so I got back to Aswan rested and ready to enjoy the evening.

5.00Samir Gaber led a wonderful tour for our group of 6 travelers. He filled the 3 hour van ride with great background information and history so we were well prepared for our visit. He timed breaks and snacks so we were comfortable. We felt well taken care of. When we arrived at Abu Simbel, we found the information he shared was invaluable as we toured the temples. Samir gave us an unforgettable day and the experience of a lifetime.
Very nice

5.00Most certainly worth visiting, good tour to do it with. Try leaving at 7am instead of the "usual" 4am or 5am. The place will be almost all to yourselves. A pretty long drive but it passes rather quickly. Good driving skills by our driver. Safe and comfortable. Would recommend.
Great Abu Simbel experience!

5.00Everything went well with our guide Mustafa. He is very kind, and even bought us breakfast and bottles of water! She is a very passionate and exciting person, I highly recommend. A little more, he deciphered the hieroglyphics on the walls!
