  • 4Beautiful Temple, a must...

    Beautiful Temple, a must see. Tour guide was knowledgeable about the temple. Van ride was fine, long drive into the Desert tho.

  • 5Superb private car and guide service to see Abu Simbel!

    A great day tour option for those traveling from Aswan to see Abu Simbel! Hany the driver and Hany the guide (both have the same forename) were superb and made the trip down to the famed temple so much better. I highly recommend this tour if searching for a private car service to Abu Simbel!

  • 5From Aswan to Abu Simbel

    My trip to Abu Simbel was fantastic thanks to Hany, he made the 7 hour trip such a comfortable and pleasant experience. He is so much more than just a driver, he was so knowledgeable about the geography and social history of the landscape we were driving through and always going above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed along the way. He made the gruesome 7 hour drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel feel like a walk in the park. The care and hospitality he shows for his clients is unmatched, ask for Hany whenever you can!

  • 5For the driver Hany Amir

    Hany Amir was excellent. He picked me up right on time at 4 a.m. and gave a fantastic tour that lasted over three and a half hours. He was professional, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. He also handled the return trip perfectly. Highly recommend Hany Amir if you want a reliable driver!

  • 5A Great Day at Abu Simbel!

    My wife and I had a great time on our trip to Abu Simbel with our driver, Hany. From the beginning, Hany was incredibly friendly, informative, and thoughtful. He shared a lot with us about the history of Aswan and Abu Simbel along the way, had plenty of snacks and waters ready for us in the car, and did a great job explaining the plan for the day and setting expectations for what was ahead. Once we arrived at Abu Simbel, we also had a great experience with our tour guide, Ahmed. He was knowledgeable and did a great job walking us through the history of the temples and helping us better understand what we were seeing. Overall, it was a really enjoyable and well-organized day. We learned a lot, felt well taken care of throughout the entire experience, and would definitely recommend both Hany as a driver and Ahmed as a tour guide!

About Aswan

Aswan is Egypt's serene southern city on the Nile, where feluccas glide between granite islands, Nubian villages and palm-fringed riverbanks.

The Nile is at its most beautiful here, broken by granite boulders and green islands. Elephantine Island holds ruins of ancient temples and colourful Nubian villages, Kitchener's Island is covered by a botanical garden, and on the west bank the Tombs of the Nobles are cut into the cliffs of Qubbet el-Hawa, while the domed Mausoleum of the Aga Khan stands on a desert hill further south.

Top-ranked sights in Aswan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple (Temple of Isis), Aswan High Dam.
