• 5The pickup was on time...

  The pickup was on time and the van was quite clean and cozy with security belt. One thing that should be more clear is the fact that the price of the entrance ticket to Abu Simbel was not included and was mandatory, I thought that ticket was optional to go inside the temple not to see the temple from outside.

• 5For the price, this tour...

  For the price, this tour is definitely worth it! It was one of the few tours I did in a group and the site is pretty awesome. It’s a long drive there and back, so be prepared for that. The stop at a coffee shop is meh, but you’re in the middle of the desert at like 6am - beggars can’t be choosers. The guide was good - it wasn’t too long, but added to the experience. There was also sufficient time to explore and take pictures. If you want a ton of history, you may want a private guide. But if you want something quick and dirty and/or focus more on the visuals, this tour will do the trick. The car guide wrangled us as needed, but was there basically for logistics. I’m glad I went and would recommend to others - met some cool people on the tour too.

• 4Awesome!

  Friendly staff and comfortable ride (although a bit too adventurous on the road). Guide Mohammed Ibrahim was very professional and provided us with valuable information!

• 5Great day trip to Abu Simbel with just driver.

  We booked this day trip with Nice tours a couple of weeks before the tour. They were very friendly and communicative. On the day of the tour, the driver arrived pick us up at the hotel on time (3:45am) and he drove us to Abu Simbel. There, he gave us 2 hours to visit around (which is more than enough) and drove us back to the hotel. He was friendly and his car was very clean and A/C was working. It was a pleasant drive. I would definitely recommend this tour.

  You’re given enough time at the temple. Also the communication was great. Will accommodate you if you changed hotel like I did.

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.
