From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 9.
On the short walk to the temple entrances, your guide will explain the site's history, including details of the UNESCO-led relocation of the entire cliff face to higher ground. Due to the large number of visitors to Abu Simbel, guides are not permitted inside either the Great Temple of Ramses II or the smaller Temple of Hathor. However, by using photos and illustrations, your guide will explain to you the structures & their interior artworks. You will then have free time to enter the temples and explore them. As one of the few ancient Egyptian sites which largely escaped damage by past invaders, the interiors of Abu Simbel's temples are astounding. The scale of the buildings & their detailed decoration leaves most visitors in awe. The temples' attraction is further enhanced by their scenic location on Lake Nasser's edge in the desert's orange sands. There may be time for a short visit to the small visitor's center which documents the UNESCO relocation project.

Great to see the temple but its an unrealistic schedule for a day trip. Otherwise a good experience.

Good organisation but let down by guide who gave the absolute minimum info and spent 10 minutes on the site with group. Delegated a non English person to get us to site. Nice man but barely engaged. Recommend the flight
From start to finish this trip was CHAOTIC! You don’t actually meet the person that you are booking the trip with. Our first driver was on time and great but just dropped us off at the airport to figure out our travel. When we arrived to Abu Simbal no one was there. We had to call several times to get any answer the guy came later. They drove us to Abu Simbal and our tour guide was late and only spent a total of 10 min with us. We also had to pay for our ticket to get in. Then we were rushed back to the airport and they wanted us to tip them all individually after paying this high of a price! We then could not find our driver back in Aswan and took us 15 min to figure it out. The Sunset tour handled terribly and my husband and I were scared with very little information. If you want a much better option message me and I can send a much better tour guide in Aswan. DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR IF YOU WANT HELP.
Seeing Abu Simbel was fantastic BUT I want to say how wonderful the whole travel experience was. We were picked up at the shop on time with a very friendly driver. The whole excursion went smoothly and stress free.
