    Amazing & Unforgettable Day-Tours in Aswan !

    Ahmed Osman is an amazing Tour Guide, He is Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, passionate and committed to the customers satisfaction and experience ! We had Two great days with Ahmed in Aswan (Feb 2021): First Day was an amazing tour for Abou Simbel (for the first time ever) He arranged a private comfortable car (Mr. Taher was a good driver and you can feel safe with him !) and he guided us to take a deep dive in the great history of both temples! He was very informative, knowledgeable & engaging and after that he recommended one of best places to take our lunch there (A great Seafood Meal in one of best Nubian Houses in Abou Simbel) and Second Day was a wonderful tour in Aswan to see the must-see Philae Temple at early morning as well to take the boat at afternoon in the great Nile to explore the Nubian Village and take an amazing lunch there. Definitely, I would highly recommend Ahmed Osman to anyone interested to explore this great spot in Egypt !

    Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer First of all allow to thank you for your time and consideration. we are more than proud and happy to hear that you have enjoyed every aspect of your tour and we will continue working hard to maintain the same level of progress . our biggest inspiration is your satisfaction .

    Long journey for a short tour

    I personally would not recommend this tour, but I won't give it a poor review because I'd say the faults are 50% the guide and 50% the type of tour it was. It didn't feel totally worth it to drive so far for only an hour or two at the temples and there is not much to see. But that's a personal opinion. We were pretty frustrated with the lack of knowledge the tour guide had. He only spent about 5-10 minutes going over the history and it didn't make much sense. If I were to do it again I would spend less money to go on a larger tour as there was no real benefit to the private one IMO.

    Response from the operator: We appericiate your feed back but it's an option of our tours to choose abusimble trip and you have flight at 3 PM and you have to be at aswan airport at 1 pm so the convoy to abusimble start at 5 so we have just 8 hours 3 hours to go and 3 hours to back 2 hours to see the temple , If you wouldn't have your flight we would take more much time in abusimbel and invite you for lunch as well it's just your short scedual .

    Magic trip to abu simble from aswan

    This tour was particularly my favorite in Egypt, we contacted with flyby tours and booked the tour the staff was polite and organized everything smoothly our tour guide came on time and pick us up from our hotel at 5 am . His name ahmed osman omy this man is very knowledgeable and perfect and his English was excellent I would recommend him for everyone . The car was very fancy and new with A/C . The temple was less crowded which made it more pleasant to appreciate, we drove for 3 hours to get there, but trust me, it was completely worth it, and also the landscape of the dessert was so beautiful to watch, the sunrise and everything ,thanks flyby tours team

    Abu Simbel Temples Private Guided Tour from Aswan by coach: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Abu Simbel Temples Private Guided Tour from Aswan by coach cost?

    +

    Prices start at $130 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 Temples Private Guided Tour from Aswan by coach take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Temples Private Guided Tour from Aswan by coach worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 16 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 Temples Private Guided Tour from Aswan by coach?

    +

    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 Temples Private Guided Tour from Aswan by coach suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Abu Simbel Temples Private Guided Tour from Aswan by coach?

    +

    Around 6 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Abu Simbel Temples Private Guided Tour from Aswan by coach 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 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon. 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.
