We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic 2-day trip to Aswan and Abu Simbel.

We will also be sure to pass along your special thanks to Hannah and Zachary—they will be thrilled to know their passion and knowledge made the historical sites truly come alive for you.

The choice of the hotel for 2 nights and for meals consumed. I can say that everything was organized in the best way Thank you, everyone. Franco and Lisa

Absolutely worth it
Anyone who wants to Enterprise this excursion should be aware that it is a long way from Marsa Alam to Aswan. We had a minibus for two, so you could rest very well. The two drivers Dahab and Kenny were very friendly and helpful. In Aswan we did a boat trip to a Nubian village with bathing in the Nile in addition to the normal program items. This is highly recommended. Our German-speaking guide Tarek was just great. He was told that he wanted to make us his great hometown palatable, which he succeeded in doing. On the second day you start early (4.30) to abu simbel. It's absolutely impressive. You can rent a golf caddy for 2€, so you don't have to walk through the heat. The tour is definitely recommended. The provider MarsaAlamTours is also recommended. My contact Sara was always available and helpful.

Asuan from Marsa Alam
We had a private two-day trip from Marsa Alam to Aswan for a family of three. It was a wonderful adventure. Everything was very well organised, the guides were knowledgeable and the drivers were well-trained. I highly recommend it.

Aswan
We expected the trip to be very long but it was totally worth IT. The drivers and tour guides took really good care of us. Water, toilet stops, whatever we requested was organized. We felt safe and taken care of. Filae temple, unfinished obelisk and Abu simbel where amazing and we had as much time as we wanted to walk around and take same pictures. Only thing i regret that we didnt have time to see Aswan as much, but now I understand why they recommend 3 day trip instead of 2. You just get to see more on the way. First day we were simply too tired to go out from the hotel. Basma hotel, not a top one but its was more than enough to have a comfy rest (had a great view from the balcony too) Room was clean and air conditioning was working well. I recommend this trip if you have enough patience. This was a very long distance and most of the time you need to spend travelling unfortunately. Trully amazed by the drivers effort. Next time we will definately go for a shorter trip with the guys:)
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience! We're really glad to hear that the trip was worth it for you, even with the long distance. It means a lot to know that you felt safe, cared for, and well looked after by the drivers and guides. We’ll definitely pass on your kind words to the team! We understand how tiring the journey can be, and you're absolutely right — a 3-day trip does offer a more relaxed pace and a chance to explore Aswan more deeply. We’re happy to hear that you still enjoyed the main highlights like Philae Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk, and Abu Simbel. Thank you also for your honest feedback about Basma Hotel — it's great that you had a comfortable stay and a beautiful view to enjoy. We’d love to welcome you again for a shorter, more relaxed trip next time — and we’re sure the team would be just as happy to see you again. Best regards, Rana Samy

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Day trip to Aswan and Abu simble from Marsa Alam: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marsa Alam.
How much does 2 Day trip to Aswan and Abu simble from Marsa Alam cost?
+
Prices start at $571 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marsa Alam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Day trip to Aswan and Abu simble from Marsa Alam take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marsa Alam is not rushed.
Is 2 Day trip to Aswan and Abu simble from Marsa Alam worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marsa Alam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day trip to Aswan and Abu simble from Marsa Alam?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Day trip to Aswan and Abu simble from Marsa Alam suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Day trip to Aswan and Abu simble from Marsa Alam?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marsa Alam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marsa Alam and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Day trip to Aswan and Abu simble from Marsa Alam start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marsa Alam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Marsa Alam?
+
On Outty we rank every Marsa Alam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luxor Day Trip from Marsa alam (Private), Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings, Over Day Tour From Marsa Alam to Luxor. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Marsa Alam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Marsa Alam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
