Don’t deal with them, they are the worst ever, the responsible person his name Ahmed. They care about money not quality

Long journey for a short tour

I personally would not recommend this tour, but I won't give it a poor review because I'd say the faults are 50% the guide and 50% the type of tour it was. It didn't feel totally worth it to drive so far for only an hour or two at the temples and there is not much to see. But that's a personal opinion. We were pretty frustrated with the lack of knowledge the tour guide had. He only spent about 5-10 minutes going over the history and it didn't make much sense. If I were to do it again I would spend less money to go on a larger tour as there was no real benefit to the private one IMO.

We appericiate your feed back but it's an option of our tours to choose abusimble trip and you have flight at 3 PM and you have to be at aswan airport at 1 pm so the convoy to abusimble start at 5 so we have just 8 hours 3 hours to go and 3 hours to back 2 hours to see the temple , If you wouldn't have your flight we would take more much time in abusimbel and invite you for lunch as well it's just your short scedual .
