    Wonderful

    What a wonderful 2 days in Luxor with this amazing guide. Samur was very knowledgeable and also very patient with all our questions. Excellent English made a huge difference. I highly recommend Samur for an all round good experience.

    pleasant professional guide who does not look at an hour

    We spent 2 nice days with our guide Samar (pronounced Summer). Samar is a smiling young lady with a gigantic knowledge of what she shows us. The first day we visited Karnak and Luxor. Impressive. The second day we visited the Valley of the Kings. I would also have liked to visit the Hatsepsut complex. This was not on the program, but Samar does not look for an hour, and the site was extensively explored. That's why the program ran late, and we all got hungry. No problem for Samr: she took us to a picturesque restaurant (where Howard Carter had his study at the time) where the food and drinks could please everyone. We came back around 17:00, where the tour would have ended around noon.

    SAMAR is a superstar! She will take care of you

    My husband and I went in Egypt in March 2020 and had an incredible time all because of Samar and her wisdom, kindness, preparedness, professionalism and honesty. This was our first trip to Egypt and we booked several tours with Samar and truly wished we had more time to book all that she offered. We felt 100 percent safe at all times and were able to visit all the sites on our wish list. Samar is a very experienced tour guide who can provide you with historical facts to social etiquette. We were able to ask her endless questions ranging from how people live to the history of each artifact and temple we visited. We also had amazing food and can't wait to visit again. Thank you for being the best part of our trip to Egypt!

    Response from the operator: I can't find words to thank you enough beautiful Teresa. thank you so much for your amazing words. I appreciate it a lot really. You and Omid were so amazingly sweet, kind and nice couple.i truly enjoyed that with you. hopefully we meet again.

    An exceptional guide.

    We saw Karnak, the Temple of Luxor and the West Bank sites with Samar. She is an exceptional tour guide. Her English is brilliant and - better than that - she is a true historian and Egyptologist, and her passion for the subject area really brings the sites to life. She knew exactly when to visit in order to maximise the experience (e.g. sunset at the Temple of Luxor) and always let us take our time and explore for ourselves if we wanted to. We came away from our two days with Samar feeling very lucky to have been recommended her, and knowing a lot more about ancient Egypt and the sites we had been to visit. Samar also organised a great driver (seatbelts, AC etc.) and made sure that COVID-19 guidelines were adhered to at all times. 10/10 would recommend. You will not regret taking Samar as your guide.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Aaron for your amazing words. I enjoyed being your guide a lot. I had a lot of fun with you guys. you have been very kind, polite and amazing people. Thank you so much and hopefully we meet again.

    Abu Simble temple day trip.: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Abu Simble temple day trip. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 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 temple day trip. 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 temple day trip. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 temple day trip.?

    +

    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 temple day trip. 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 temple day trip.?

    +

    Around 2 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 temple day trip. 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.
