Today I had the pleasure of experiencing Philae Temple with Mohammed Abdo. He is a real expert with deep knowledge. He explained the story of this temple in a cheerful and interesting manner. I wish him all the the best!
Our tour was excellent and our guide Mohamed Abdo was amazing . We enjoyed every minute of the tour!
The most important part of the tour is Philae, where my friend Mohammed Abdo told me the story of how the entire temple was moved. The explanation was excellent. If you do this tour, I recommend doing it in the morning; it gets very hot in the afternoon.
The visit with Mohammed Abdo has been very good, I highly recommend it.
Mohamed abdo Was very funny, I had a great time with our tour to Abu Simbel. Thank you from Canada! ✌️😎
Thanks to Mohamed Abdo for this very friendly moment, superb visit and very good explanations! Thank you very much! Enjoy:)
I really enjoyed my exploration of the marvelous wonders of Egypt in great company of Mohamed! From the start I felt being at ease with his cheerfulness and a good sense of humor. He gave me interesting facts and stories about the places and kept the conversation going with ease. Also, he is a very good photographer!!! I highly recommend Mohamed as a professional and a wonderful person to be your guide.
Mohamed took great care of us, he was a knowledgeable guide and also took our pictures.
Had a fun time at Abu Simbel with our guide Mohammad Abdul. He is funny and made it entertaining throughout the journey. We managed to arrive earlier than the crowd and were happy with the photos we took and what we learned about Abu Simbel and the history behind it. Would book it again!
We had a very good time and wonderful experience with the guide (Mohammed), He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history and culture of the area. Everything was well organized, and he explained the temples in a clear and interesting way, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. He was also very patient, answered all our questions, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. Thanks to him, our visit to Aswan was truly memorable. I highly recommend this guide to anyone visiting Aswan and looking for an authentic and enriching experience.
