Itinéraire
Commencez par une prise en charge à votre hôtel ou en bateau de croisière sur le Nil à Assouan, puis faites le voyage à Abou Simbel en voiture privée (près de 3 heures de route). À votre arrivée, votre guide vous montrera les temples jumeaux de renommée mondiale qui ont été sculptés à l'origine dans la montagne au 13ème siècle avant JC, sous le règne de la 19e dynastie du pharaon Ramsès II.
Le Grand Temple d'Abou Simbel est généralement considéré comme le plus grand et le plus beau des temples commandés sous le règne de Ramsès II, et l'un des plus beaux d'Egypte. Le grand temple d'Amon Re et de Ra-Harakhte où les quatre célèbres statues colossales de Ramsès II se dressent majestueusement à plus de 20 mètres de haut, regardant à travers le désert. Profitez d'une conférence fantastique de votre guide personnel à l'extérieur des temples, puis du temps libre pour regarder à l'intérieur du temple, qui s'enfonce à 60 mètres dans la montagne, avec des statues et des sculptures représentant les victoires militaires et les captifs de Ramsès II. Sur le mur du fond du temple, vous verrez les statues dédiées aux dieux Amon, Ra-Horakhty et Ptah, ainsi qu'au déifié Ramsès lui-même.
Plus tard, marchez jusqu'au petit temple d'Hathor dédié à la déesse à tête de vache de l'amour, du bonheur, de la joie et de la musique, construit en l'honneur de l'épouse préférée de Ramsès, la reine Néfertari. Six statues massives debout devant le temple mesurent chacune 10 mètres de haut. Entre 1964 et 1968, l'ensemble du site a été soigneusement découpé en gros blocs (jusqu'à 30 tonnes, en moyenne 20 tonnes), démonté, soulevé et remonté dans un nouvel emplacement 65 mètres plus haut et 200 mètres en retrait du fleuve, dans l'un des plus grands défis de l’ingénierie archéologique dans l’histoire. Certaines structures ont même été sauvées des eaux du lac Nasser. Après avoir visité le complexe du temple, effectuez le voyage de retour à Assouan, où cette visite se termine par un dépôt à votre hôtel ou sur votre bateau de croisière.

Ahmet was a good and reliable driver and Mostapha a good guide but we wish we had spent more time talking to him. For organisational reasons guides are not allowed in the temple so you only get the guide's explanations for about 10-15 mind before you enter.
Our guide Hassim was friendly, knowledgeable, and obviously proud of his heritage. He made sure we weren’t pestered by vendors and that we got a good price when we did decide to buy things. We were free to marvel at the innovation and artistry of the ancient Egyptians, knowing we were in capable hands. We also appreciated the multiple water bottles they supplied.
Tour was okay. Guide spoke German very well and explanations were interesting. However, I think next time I would just book a driver. It feels weird to have a guide in the car for 6 hours and only have explanations for 15 minutes before the temple since they are not allowed inside. Abu Simbel is worth it but not as guided tour.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time in sharing your views with us and the community. Thank you for being fair to rate the tour guide as he is speaking German very well as well as the tour was okay. Also that you previous knowledge that the tour guides as not allowed lecturing inside the AbuSimbel temples. We have contacted the Tour guide and he confirmed that he Gave a good lecture infront on the temple cover all the wall scenes that you will see inside and continues for almost 35 to 45 minutes. Then you had free time to walk and enjoy the Temples. As well as he share some info. concerning the toshka depression, Lake and projects that you have seen along the way. Your views are highly appreciated and we are so pleased to have them all into consideration to ensure a better experience to you next time and for every traveler with us. We will pay much more attention to all tour mentioned details and will take all proper actions to prevent them from happening again. Thank you always.
Nile Holiday Tour Company was dependable; our tour guide Mary was on time (3:00AM) to pick us up in our hotel; she was super nice - sharing her knowledge about the temple and its history, what the writings on the walls were about...really good! She was also kind enough to take awesome pictures.

If you are part of an organized group, you do not need to rent a private vehicle. No more value, especially if you come across, like us on a guide not very good at all!.
We are a family with 2 children aged 11 and 8 and enjoyed a fantastic trip in the Nile Valley. Yousry was an outstanding leader who really grew close to our hearts. The tours were exciting and competently guided and the whole tour perfectly organized. Many thanks to the organizers and Yousry!

<p>My wife and I took Abu Simbel tour in March 2018. Guide agreed to meet us airport at convenient time. They also returned us to Aswan hotel after the tour. Everything went off without a problem. Guide was very knowledgeable about history and made us feel welcome. Abu Simbel temple is decent ride south of Aswan but well worth it. I would highly recommend.</p>
If you go to Egypt you must go to Abu Simbel. It's incredible but the heat is otherworldly. We got up at 2.00AM so that we could arrive very early, see the sunrise and return as soon as the sun made its appearance.

<p>We loved Abu Simbel! We did not go as early as everybody suggested, instead left Aswan at 7AM, and when we got to Abu Simbel all other tourists were gone and we had the whole temple for ourselves!! It was amazing!! The people very friendly, including our guide Hati.</p>
