Ideal way to visit Abu Simba
Hassan was knowledgeable, personable and we felt very comfortable and at ease with our journey to Abu Simba. We're very glad we chose to be driven out to Abu Simba instead of flying. The drive gave us the opportunity to learn more about modern Egypt. The growth and development of modern infrastructure and residential development was very interesting and a welcome contrast to the wonder of the antiquities. The stops along the way were appreciated and we'll timed. The vehicle comfortable and well maintained. We were very pleased with our first Viator experience.

Unique place to visit
Enjoyed the trip. The place is unique in terms of history, the trip is around 10 hrs. Where you spend most of is is on the road (around 7. 5 hours for both ways). Overall I had a great experience.

Ramses the great. Truly inspirational
We booked a private car and guide for this trip to Abu Simble. The drive was 3 and a half hours each way, but well worth it. The Temple of Ramses 11 was incredible but our guide Mofasta made the experience even better. He was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out so many things we would have missed. Mofasta went on to be our guide for 4 more days, and was with us on the Nile cruise taking us through Philae Temple, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak, Luxor, Valley of the Kings, and Hatshepsut temple. Go with a guide for sure and if you're lucky get Mofasta!

Turning back the time machine
Both Mohammed and Maram were excellent. Mohammed tried his best to accommodate us and Maram is an excellent guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Used them for both Aswan and Luxor

Abu Simble from Aswan by Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Abu Simble from Aswan by Car cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Simble from Aswan by Car 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 Simble from Aswan by Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 Simble from Aswan by Car?
+
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 Simble from Aswan by Car 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 Simble from Aswan by Car?
+
Around 5 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 Simble from Aswan by Car 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.
