The views in abu simbel were amazing. The time to get there is about 3.5-4 hrs depending on trafic but we beat the crowds and arrive on time for some great pictures. Do consider to bring lunch or had some breakfast ready, we took the hotel to go lunch and it was just a basic sandwich and yogourt. on the way the team does a stop for bathroom and to buy something if required. The van was very comfortable and we were able to sleep a good part of the trip.
