  • 1Disappointing Tour with Minimal Guidance

    We were picked up on time, which was a good start, but the overall experience left us disappointed. Unlike what we read in other reviews, we only received a very brief, 5-minute introduction about a few scenes in the temples. There was no detailed explanation or proper guidance, which was the main reason we booked the tour.

  • 5Very good tour, kept to...

    Very good tour, kept to time and well organised. It was definitely worth leaving at 4am. They accommodated drop offs for everyone i.e. airport, train station...etc

  • 5It was awesome

    The temple was amazing, They picked us up from the hotel where we stayed at the scheduled time, it was a trip comfortable trip, we enjoyed every moment with tour guide, he shared a lot of interesting information about the temple and that area with us, the guide speaks English very well, he took our photos very nice, then we were dropped off at our hotel, it was a great tour, nothing happened other than what was promised, no extra fee was charged (we gave a small tip to the driver, but there is such a culture here, so it's normal)

  • 5コスパが良いツアー Reasonable price tour

    いいガイドさんに丁寧に説明してもらって、尚且つ一人でも見て回るのに十分な時間が取れました。ツアー会社側も事前にWhatsapp経由で連絡をくれます。往復+ガイド付きでコスパがいいツアーだと思います。 I had a great guide! He was friendly and took photos for me. I think it was a very reasonable tour.

  • 4Visit of Abu Simbel

    The transportation was very good. they send someone very kind to our place at the nubian village to take us to the aswan dam where we took the minivan. We arrive early so there was not so many people at the temple. We recommend. Just don't take the guide with this tour because he give you about 10 min explanation with photograph and then you walk alone for the rest of the tour until the departure of the minivan. (Guide is not allow to enter in Abu Simbel temple)

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.
