Abu Simbel Excursion 1 Day Trip from Aswan (Sharing Bus & Egyptologist Guide)

Mina is very available to organize the trip and always finds solutions. It is surrounded by a very good driver and guide. We recommend.

Driver were good they are on time and responsible but tour guy is talking to fast and not very well in english

As few things in this world reflect the majesty of Pharaonic Egypt and the reach of a three thousand year empire by that time

I realized I never wrote the review, so I’m doing it now. Very professional, on time. We were picked up at 3am as we were told. Aswam is such a beautiful historic place, so worth the drive! I highly recommend it. I will share some pictures

Our guide spoke very good English and gave a good "lecture" He gave a very thorough answers to our questions . We were picked up from our cruise ship around 4:30 and arrived to Abu Simbel around 8:00 and there was already a very large crowd!! When we left around 10:30 the crowd was much smaller. A later arrival (10:00 to 11:00) would have been much better to see the site and take pictures with fewer people there.

This was a shared bus tour. We had a private Egyptologist doing the tour of Abu Simbel. It was definitely worth getting picked up at 4:15am! Abu Simbel is magnificent. The guide cannot go into the temples with you so his talks are prior to our entering the temple.

Mina Wasfy organized 3 excursions for us during our stay in Egypt: the visit to the pyramids (Giza and Saqqara), the visit to Abu Simbel return journey from Aswan in private vehicle, as well as a magnificent trip all included in 2 nights private felucca from Aswan to Kom Ombo (with temple visit + extension visit to Edfu temple and transfer to Luxor). Perfect organization, very competent, friendly and flexible guides and felouquier, excellent meals, everything was quality at a very reasonable price. With Mina, all services are established from the start and are respected to the letter. We highly recommend his services for your trip to Egypt!

Loved Abu Simbel. The drive was smooth and the explanation by Muhammad was excellent. Really enjoyable experience since we learned a lot

It's fascinating how German engineers managed to save this amazing temple complex in the 1960s. I was happy to take the four-hour drive from Aswan to see it.

waking at 3 in the night for a 4 am journey can be really too much for someone who is on a vacation then sleeping on a 4 hr ride in a bus is where the fun goes.Sorry if I am dampening some high spirits but it is what it is. then coming back again to your hotel takes ages. nothing against Viator they did their best and all kudos to them but its just the long journey that makes you tired . Brave-hearts only.
