Things to do in Abu Simbel Temples

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.

I had a wonderful experience on the 4-day, 3-night Nile cruise. The 5-star ship was fantastic, everything was well organised, and the guides were excellent. I nearly missed one tour due to a small mix-up, but it was quickly resolved and someone came to pick me up. I also enjoyed having a private tour. Overall, it was a pleasure being looked after by such a great team. Thank you for a memorable experience!

The Aswan High Dam was a very interesting stop, and the guide explained its history and importance to us. The cruise was comfortable, the food was good, and the crew was very friendly. An unforgettable trip along the Nile.

Abu Simbel is breathtaking, the colossi of Ramesses II are massive, and we had them almost to ourselves because we left Aswan at 4 in the morning. The guide told wonderful stories about relocating the temple. A private air-conditioned car was a great choice in such heat.

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.
