I highly recommend it; it's fantastic. - I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to our dear tour guide, Ahmed Gamal, for his outstanding efforts in presenting historical information professionally and simply, allowing us to experience the atmosphere of ancient Egyptian civilization. I also express my deep gratitude to our esteemed driver, Mohamed, for his excellent driving, courteous manner, and meticulous attention to the cleanliness of the vehicle, which made our journey more comfortable and enjoyable. Visiting the Abu Simbel temples was an unforgettable experience, with their majestic columns telling stories spanning thousands of years, and the magnificent inscriptions embodying the grandeur of Pharaonic history. The Temple of Nefertari captivated us with its unique beauty, especially at sunset, which bestowed upon it a special and unforgettable charm. We thank everyone who contributed to this wonderful trip and highly recommend it to anyone seeking to discover the joy of history and the magic of Egyptian civilization.

The best trip in Egypt - A trip from Luxor to the city of magic and beauty, Abu Simbel. We had a very respectful guide and an excellent driver. It was my first experience in Egypt. Afterwards, we returned to Aswan to visit the Philae Temple and the High Dam. Therefore, I thank Mohamed and recommend him.

Disappointing - Monuments are great. The guide was basic, not saying much that you wouldn’t be able to work out for yourself and left us hanging about between temples. Tickets were not provided, we had to buy them ourselves Lunch? What lunch? A 12 hour round car trip so lunch would’ve been good.
