Must do experience!

Enjoyed our trip. Was picked up at 5am, the driver had asked our hotel to do a take away breakfast which was nice. Stopped about 30 mins away from Abu Simbel for toilet. Was met by a guide to explain a little before being left to go inside. Wasn't rushed at all and really enjoyed the day. Got back about 3pm

Amazing day with an amazing guide

Amazing day with an unmatched experience from our guide Mo and our driver Ahmed! We knew we were in good hands when Mo reached out to us and even asked if we’d like to start our tour a bit earlier to catch the sunrise and beat the crowds, which was awesome advice. Ahmed was a reliable safe driver and very friendly. Mo (Hytham Mohamed) was the best guide we’ve had in Egypt to date. 11/10 for his knowledge, respectfulness and all around great personality! I would recommend both of them to anyone looking for guides in Egypt. Wish we could have had him for the rest of our trip :)

A memorable 3.5-hour drive to Abu Simbel

We recommend this tour, especially if you have Zak as your guide and Mohamed as your driver. Zak is knowledgeable, and he explained the history in perfect English. The trip was well coordinated with our Cruise ship, and we did not feel like we were rushed; it was a safe, leisurely drive. Abu Simbel is a must-see!
