5Abu Simbel - great experience
Abu Simbel - It was an excellent tour with Viator Travels(Aswan). Very good car, decent driver and very much punctual. Support staff was also very good and helpful. 👍👍
5Amazing experience!
The tour was great. Islam was punctual and the journey in the desert was pleasant. Abu Simbel is a must and I recommend this trip.
5Amazing experience – we had the temple all to ourselves!
The visit to the temple was amazing and absolutely worth it! The tour company was excellent: they picked us up right on time, and we arrived at the temple before everyone else, so we had the incredible experience of having the whole place almost entirely to ourselves. The price was very reasonable, and the drivers were professional and drove safely. A special mention to Engy, who was particularly kind and made the experience even better. Highly recommended!
