Great tour, excellent transportation

We have been fortunate to have Mahmud as our guide and he could not do better. He has explained everything in great detail, knows a lot about temples and enjoys explaining. You see his passion. As a negative point, the drivers of the van, which was certainly very comfortable, were somewhat rude. As soon as we got in, they didn't let us put the hot air in when they picked us up, because it was cold. The rest of the trip was somewhat unfriendly, we were in a hurry... but nothing serious, but it could greatly improve the experience with more educated drivers. They even insisted on having a tip when they did nothing to deserve it. Of course, the road went very well and very fast.

Very good experience with Mina

We left for a 10-day stay in Egypt and we entrusted the organization of this trip to Mina - 2 days in Cairo - 3 days in Aswan - the 3 day/3 night cruise from Aswan to Luxor and the end on Luxor. Magnificent stay, very comfortable vehicles, we had several French speaking guides who had a perfect knowledge of ancient Egypt, always meet them on time and cruise in a beautiful boat. We highly recommend Mina for your trip to Egypt Alain and his family

Pleasant excursion

I recommend this tour with this agency. Communication with the agency was smooth and efficient on WhatsApp. Our driver was very kind, his driving was reassuring and he even offered us fresh juice from the crops on the road. The excursion lasts 2 hours in itself. It is ample time to visit the temples, take pictures and a snack on the site. The site is beautiful by far Our favorite of Our Tour of Egypt. Not to be neglected in your journey. Our guide was friendly and gave us good information. Just a note on the entrance fee to the temples (I want to say it was well specified on the reservation that it would be extra, no problem on that). Prices can fluctuate depending on the period. However we gave the information back to the agency which was as surprised as we were and was responsive to modify the information on its offer to avoid future disappointments to other customers. Enjoy ✌️

Abu Simbel Excursion one day trip from Aswan( private car & private guide ): questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.

How much does Abu Simbel Excursion one day trip from Aswan( private car & private guide ) cost?

+

Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Abu Simbel Excursion one day trip from Aswan( private car & private guide ) take?

+

Plan for about 9 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 Aswan is not rushed.

Is Abu Simbel Excursion one day trip from Aswan( private car & private guide ) worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Abu Simbel Excursion one day trip from Aswan( private car & private guide )?

+

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 Abu Simbel Excursion one day trip from Aswan( private car & private guide ) suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Abu Simbel Excursion one day trip from Aswan( private car & private guide )?

+

Around 4 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 Aswan 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 Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Abu Simbel Excursion one day trip from Aswan( private car & private guide ) 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 Aswan 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 Aswan?

+

On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure. 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 Aswan?

+

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 Aswan?

+

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.
