Tour operator did not pick me up and never responded to my email and WhatsApp messages. I spent the effort and USD 36 to travel to Aswan from Luxor and no one picked me up at the pickup point in Aswan at exactly the agreed time. In Luxor, I contacted the tour operator by email (provided by Tripadvisor) the night before to share my WhatsApp number. There was no reply. At Aswan, I WhatsApped the tour operator through the number listed by Tripadvisor about half an hour before the pickup time to say that I was at the pickup point already. There was no reply. I waited at the pickup point for another 30 minutes and continued to WhatsApp the tour operator. There was no reply. I hope I get a refund of the money charged by Tripadvisor to my credit card for this tour as well as compensation for costs incurred.

Itinerary
Abu Simbel
flyby REP will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan by a modern air-conditioned coach to enjoy a small group tour to Abu Simbel. It is about 03 hours and half, one way driving from Aswan to Abu Simbel. 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 Ramsses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramsses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramssess 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 Ramsses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one. Later on, you will be escorted back from Abu Simbel to your hotel in Aswan.
