Fast and convenient trip to Abu Simbel
We would like to thank Mr. Abdul for a great organization of our trip to Abu Simbel and also for taking the first-class care of our friends who traveled from the USA to explore Egypt. Our friends trusted Mr. Abdul to arrange the full package including the Nile Cruise, Cairo, Alexandria and they are very happy with the choice!
In our case in a blink of the eye Mr. Abdul and his team have made all preparations to make us see both temples of Abu Simbel and Lake Nasser before we traveled back to Cairo after the Nile cruise!
The great advantage of Mr. Abdul and his team is that the team is fluent in English comparing to other guides we had a chance to meet during the trip, so be sure that you can properly understand the tour:)
We are very satisfied with the experience and definitely we recommend our friends who is planning the trip to Egypt to contact Mr. Abdul!
