Things to do in Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel was breathtaking and we almost had the entire place to ourselves! Because of the intense heat, we only spent less than an hour at the site, but it was still an amazing experience. Thanks to the tour company for checking with us throughout the day, and we felt very safe during the roundtrip private car ride from Luxor.

Mr Samy was really nice with explaining the historical facts. we almost covered the desired places and the driver was punctual.

We had an amazing day touring Luxor with Ahmed Yossry! From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organized, and stress-free. He showed us not just the famous sites but also the hidden gems that made the experience truly special. Ahmed is incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights throughout the day, bringing the history of Luxor to life in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. On top of that, he made sure we felt safe and comfortable at all times, which made a big difference in enjoying the experience fully. If you’re planning to explore Luxor, we highly recommend Ahmed, he truly made our day unforgettable.

Overall, I am satisfied. The guides and coordinators were mostly very kind. I was very grateful for the quick responses during our prior communications. However, I would have liked a more detailed schedule. If I had known there would be time to explore the cities in Aswan on day 1 and Luxor on day 3, I believe I could have spent my time more productively. It was unfortunate that the quality of the guides varied, and on one occasion, for transportation, we had a carriage transfer where we were asked for a higher-than-average tip.
