Strongly Recommended!
The experience at Abu Simbel Temple is incredible and, although tiring, it is worth it. The tour operators Mona, Cucu and Amr offered an experience organized in every detail: from the hotel pick up to the drop off, without leaving any aspect aside. The lunch... Delicious!!! The experience is long, but the journey to Abu Simbel and back to Luxor is comfortable. Both the temples and the place itself are incredible. Absolutely recommended! Thanks again Mona, Cucu, and Amr for organizing everything and for the time spent together.

A long but worthwhile trip
We had a great time in Abu Simbel thanks to Seif and his team. It was a very long but comfortable journey, 6 each way (3 hr by train and 3 hr by car), but your every step will be accompanied by someone so there is no chance you will get lost during travel. I cannot recommend the driver enough. The car was nice, clean, and air conditioned. The driver, whose name I regrettably did not get, went out of his way to make our ride super comfortable. He took care to slow down for bumps in the road and made safety our priority. We also made pit stops for snacks and bathroom breaks. Once we got to Abu Simbel, we were greeted by our guide Waleed. He gave a very good overview of both temples and even showed us pictures of how the temples were moved due to the construction of the Aswan dam. Know that there was not much to explore and you will probably spend 2 hr max in Abu Simbel, but the exterior statues and the interiors of the temples more than made up for it. The sights were striking and impressive... you will not forget your experience.

Amazing trip highly recommend
The overall trip was long but good except for the train ride which was comfortable but delayed by an hour and a half (we left only at 4.30am.. so maybe the car option would have been better) The train was delayed by one hour but the tour company made sure we were accompanied the entire time and stayed with us until we were seated and they picked us up on the way back as well.. making it quite a seamless trip, would recommend. The driver, Hani, was excellent would highly recommend. The car was very comfortable (new) and the driving was smooth and we felt very safe and he made up for the time lost on the train journey. He was friendly and answered all our questions while we drove giving us insight into the history of the general area and the route we took. We were running late but he got back in time for lunch and the train. The guide, Hani were very good, he gave us enough time to explore and even though he wasn’t able to enter the temple with us, he shared a lot of pictures of what we will see and took the time to explain the history behind each of them. Highly recommend

A wonderful experience
Had a great day visiting the Abu Simbel temples, Star our contact made sure all the arrangements were in place for safe journey to Abu Simbel. Be prepared for a very long day though, Abu Simbel is over 100km from Luxor and it is very tiring - well worth seeing though - if taking the train option, 1st class is a lot different to what 1st class is in the UK

Abu simbel is a must see...
Abu simbel is a must see but everything offered was no fulfilled... I bought my own ticket to enter, I bought food for my family because we're vegetarian and IT IS NOT 1ST CLASS TRAIN!

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Enjoy full day tour to Abu Simbel from Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Enjoy full day tour to Abu Simbel from Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $280 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Enjoy full day tour to Abu Simbel from Luxor take?
+
Plan for about 16 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 Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Enjoy full day tour to Abu Simbel from Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Enjoy full day tour to Abu Simbel from Luxor?
+
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 Enjoy full day tour to Abu Simbel from Luxor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Enjoy full day tour to Abu Simbel from Luxor?
+
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 Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Enjoy full day tour to Abu Simbel from Luxor 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 Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Top Sights, ATV Quad Bike & Camel Ride, Echo Mountain – Sharm El Sheikh, Sharm : Cairo Excursion by Flight, Pyramid GEM or Ancient Museum. 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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
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.
