Abu Simbel Tour, door to door service.
The Viator tour of Abu Simbel worked out GREAT for the 4 of us...
We were picked up promptly at the dock where are river cruise ship was situated, returned to that precise location as well. Our ride was comfortable and we had an outstanding tour guide, Omar. He provided a thorough explanation of the statuary and construction and relocation of this marvel

A must do Assuan
Our driver Ahmed was super nice and he brought us some fresh drinks for the trip.
Thank to the two guides (Fatma and Amani) for showing us the Edfu Temple and the Kom Ombo temple in so much detail.
The two guides know English very well and they are very kind.
We really appreciate their time!!

The best option
The organization was excellent. Hazem Sayed was attentive to everything from beginning to end and was very kind — so much so that I booked another tour with them. We had Ahmed Achraf as our guide, and he explained all the history in great detail and was attentive to our questions. I 100% recommend them.

Hady and the temples are amazing
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time on our Nile cruise! Hady was an incredible guide and is so knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited. He also made sure that everyone in the group was taken care of at all times and truly made our stay. All of the temples and stops are incredible and Hady’s wonderful explanations only make them more special. He is also incredibly responsive at all times and great at setting up any transport or information you may need. Hady is such an amazing guide and this trip was fabulous. Would definitely recommend :) The itinerary also includes so much Abu Simbel, hot air balloon, and so much more. Definitely do the Nubian village experience as well

Amazing experience
The experience was very nice and well organised. Our guide helped us all the way and explained all our questions with great detail. The cruise was very nice, spacious and very clean. The crew were super friendly and helpful and the food choices were great. I would 100% recommend this experience for anyone who wants to see a little bit of everything.

Fantastic tour and tour company
We would highly recommend Emo Tours Egypt - everything about the tour was beyond expectations. Abu Simbel itself was of course fantastic and well worth the long drive, and there are many companies offering tours, so my review is about Emo Tours. Communication from the company was excellent, instant response to questions on WhatsApp. We organised the pick up point (a cruise boat in our case) directly with the company via WhatsApp. The pick up was on time, the car was almost new and very comfortable, and our driver Mohammed was a very good, safe driver. With the comfortable car and very good straight roads we got to Abu Simbel in 3.5 hours including a 15 minute coffee stop (even quicker on the way back). Our guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable and he gave us a lot of very useful and interesting information in perfect English before we entered the temples. Both guide and driver were friendly and courteous. Overall an excellent company and tour, hence highly recommended

Highly recommend
We truly enjoyed the cruise and our tour of Luxor with Nervien. The organization and coordination were very smooth—there was never a moment when we felt lost or confused. We felt very well taken care of, and Enjy was very communicative and helpful throughout.
The cruise was definitely worth the money and exceeded our expectations, with a lovely boat and great food. The crew was delightful—very polite and helpful.
Nervien made our Luxor experience unforgettable, sharing a wealth of interesting background and history. The tour guides in Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo, and Edfu were also excellent.
Highly recommend!

As others pointed out,...
As others pointed out, the tour includes only the driver and the guide is waiting for you on site and gives you 15 min explanation. You have 2 hr to explore Abu Simbel which is beautiful and magnificent. As long as you are aware of this, and accept it, it is a good tour. Lunch included is a traditional Egyptian food which was surprisingly good. The driver did not speak English well, but was very nice and accommodating

Great cruise !
4 days packed with visits, be ready for very early morning wake up, but well worth it to see all these amazing sites. Boat was a bit old but ok, food was good, and we have nice tea time on the boat sundeck. Our guide Khaled did a great job at managing the schedule to do àl the sites, with a good balance of explanation and free time to explore the temples. He was very profesional and organised, was helpful with advice and bought all tickets for us in advance so no lines to purchase on sites. Overall great tour!

Wonderful Experience Transfer from Aswan to Luxor with Temple Stops
I had a wonderful experience with our driver Mustafa, and our tour guides, Amani and Fatima. Despite the very rough roads, Mustafa made our drive wonderful and as smooth as he could get it. Amani and Fatima are both very knowledgeable and passionate about their subject.

Ok-ish Ship, Great Guide!
The ship was a low-average one with decent facilities that get the job done for the purpose of exploring upper Egypt in a cruise.
Our guide Talaal was an amazing guy, knowledgeable about Egyptian history and always reachable for a conversation or clarifying doubts about the itinerary. I recommend him 100%.
The group of people I shared with was the most amazing one I could have wished for, that was a great plus to the trip and a reason to get this package.
You're mostly overpaying in some things but the worst was the Karnak Temple's lights show that is a dated show for which the guide charged 50 USD and is probably worth 10 USD. Totally skippable that one.

Once in a lifetime trip.
We took a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor and the ship was outstanding!! We sailed on the Amwaj, 4 days 3 nights, it was clean and very comfortable. They had Great food, staff was friendly and attentive. They even surprised us at dinner with a birthday cake on my husband’s birthday.
Our private guide thru the 4 days was Ahmed. He was an excellent guide, friendly, and very well versed in Egyptian culture. Ahmed looked after us and made sure we were comfortable and safe. He stayed on schedule and even offered us Egyptian coffee, which was outstanding.
Also included with our booking was a balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise. It was absolutely beautiful and so worth it.
This was a once in a lifetime trip, and we would definitely recommend this cruise. Make sure to ask for the best guide they have; Ahmed 😊
