2Very expensive. Not worth...
Very expensive. Not worth for the price paid. Moreover the trip did not include tickets and lunch. Though the guide was there, there was not much to cover. The guide did not enter the temples and briefed the history and other artifacts by showing pictures she carried. Not sure why she could not enter the temples. The most bizarre part of the journey is the guide demanded 500 EGP for each driver as tips at the end of the trip. We had two drivers. First of all, this trip was so expensive and on top of that this unexpected tip requirement wa least expected. However, the guide was very friendly and helpful through out the journey. Moreover, I had already given tips to the guide as a token of appreciation.
5Awesome Guide
Had a great day with our guide Karim! Funny, and informative. Really enjoyed. Wasn’t interested in the mandatory stop at the tourist trap coffee shop on the way so he kept to a minimum just to allow driver to get coffee. Our lunch at local restaurant was some of the best food we have had. Totally worth the visit! Request Karim if you can!

About Abu Simbel
Abu Simbel is a small Nubian town in southern Egypt, famous for Ramesses II's two giant rock temples, carved into the cliff above Lake Nasser.
Abu Simbel stands on the western shore of Lake Nasser, near the border with Sudan, about 280 kilometres by road from Aswan. Its two rock temples were cut into a sandstone cliff in the thirteenth century BC for Pharaoh Ramesses II. The Great Temple is fronted by four seated statues of the king, each about twenty metres high, and a smaller temple beside it is dedicated to Queen Nefertari and the goddess Hathor.
