Abu Simbel day trip
A 3 hour drive on desert roads, with a brief stop for coffee and a bathroom break. Our driver Ahmed was very friendly and offered a lot of information about locations and local sites we passed along the way. The vehicle was clean and comfortable and our group of 6 people had planty of space. The Abu Simbel temples and tombs are amazing and I would highly recommend taking the time to do this day out.

The best experience I had
I had a fantastic experience on a 4-day Nile cruise. The entire cruise was very well organized. I was picked up right on time at the meeting point, and we boarded the ship quickly with a fast check-in. The cabins were extremely clean and tidy, and they were serviced every day. The food quality was excellent, and the staff were incredibly kind and respectful. Overall, I had a really wonderful experience on this 4-day cruise.

An absolutely fantastic experience visiting Abu Simbel with Hany our driver and Hany our guide.
Our driver was kind, considerate, and very knowledgeable, providing information and snacks across our journey. The car was clean and comfortable for the long journey.
Our guide at Abu Simbel showed us points of interest, whilst also giving us time to explore on our own.

Car arrived on time, no pressure for us to hurry our trip. Very comfortable and exceptionally clean car. We had a 7am pick up which was perfect as the crowds were leaving as we arrived at around 10.45.

Worth the Drive
It’s worth the drive. This tour was very cool and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the temples . It was a long drive but seeing the Abu Simbel Temples was worth every hour on the road. We had a great driver. I would recommend this tour to my friend and family.

Our room is large and clean. Food is good. Our flight is 50 minutes late. Our tour guide prepared two lunch boxes for us and we left our luggage and immediately joined our tour to Philae temple.

Effortless and Memorable Adventure
We booked this trip last minute with no research and were pleasantly surprised. Bassant coordinated everything we asked for with additional tours and we cannot fault her efforts, Ahmed delivered us safety and efficiently around town and worked with our time schedule, Simoon and Ahem guided us efficiently on our private tours around the big crowds and Mr Star was our cruise contact proud to show us around his hometown of Luxor. Well, done to all for an effortless and memorable adventure.

Well organised with an excellent driver
The driver (Mark) was excellent and the van was absolutely clean and comfortable. The guide at Abu Simbel was also quite good. There were some snacks and drinks ready for me in the van, which was a nice touch.

Fair Price for private Tour
We booked only driver. The car was new and clean. The driver was driving very carefully as well. The Emo tour had a great communication with us about the driver and the pick up time. During the tour, the driver was very quiet assuming due to language barrier. Everything went well and smoothly.

Highly recommend for Abu Simbel!
Great experience! Our driver Abodo picked us up from our hotel on time. He was a fantastic driver, the drive was seamless and comfortable and we had a few chance to stop for a bite and washroom. He didnt rush us at all. Highly recommend!!
