Finally you will be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza.
Our tour to Abu Simbel was fantastic. Our tour guide, Hatem, met us at our ship in Aswan, along with a very clean, comfortable van and two drivers. When I reserved the tour only two of us were going, but the tour provider was fine with us increasing to four people at short notice. The ride itself was quite long, but interesting to see the desert. When we arrived at the temple Hatem gave us a really good overview before we went in as guides are not allowed in the temple itself. On our way back to Aswan we made a quick pit stop and arrived in good time. I was very pleased with the arrangements and felt the cost of the tour was very fair. I’ll remember Egypt Super Tours and won’t hesitate to book through them in the future.
This was an excellent trip! The company was very organized and communicative. We wanted a private tour for four, but wanted to make sure we were in a van, which they ensured. Our guide, Waleed, was incredibly informative, providing a great tour of Abu Simbel as well as talking about Egypt history and current events. We loved this tour and would highly recommend!
We booked a day trip from Aswan to Abu Simble and decided on the way back to add the Nubian Village. The tour was great and they were flexible for last minute changes. Would recommend for any tour!
