The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate in order to save these temples from the flood. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramesses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramses II.The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramesses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one.

The bus was comfortable, and the trip was very smooth. The temples were incredible, with so many beautiful carvings and stories from ancient Egypt. The guide explained everything in a simple and interesting way, making the history easy to understand. It was a trip I’ll never forget!
The journey was well-organized, and the guide made sure we learned about the history of the temples. The statues and details on the walls were so impressive. It was a long day, but totally worth it to see such an important part of Egypt’s history!

We did a private tour to Abu Simbel. If not visiting with a group of friends or family, I would recommend a private tour of Abu Simbel with H&M Tour. We had our guide Hussein pick us up from the hotel at Aswan. The tour was smooth and we got to spend adequate time at the temples. Post the tour we went for lunch at a Nubian restaurant at Aswan that served local cuisine. The food and the view from the restaurant was worth the money. Hussein helped us plan our tour to Luxor and back. By the end of our Aswan-luxor trip we were friends with Hussein . He takes a keen interest in Egypt's socio-political and economic condition. Being from an emerging economy myself, we had engaging conversation about our respective societies. I would recommend Hussein with H&M Tour to anyone looking at a private tour to Abu Simbel. Needless to say, the temples are splendid and it's really worth getting up at 4 am in the morning
Thank you for your review I hope you got a good service with our company
