最高のツアー会社。なんでも相談するべき。This is the best tour company. You should consult them about anything.
元々LuxorからAbu Simbelを見学してLuxorに戻るツアーですが、我々の全体エジプト旅行の都合、空いている飛行機のタイミングなどから、Aswanからピックアップしてもらい、最終的にはLuxorのホテルに届けてもらう必要があったが、ツアー会社はちゃんと変更してくれました。 Aswan着の飛行機が3時間遅れてしまった中でも、運転手はちゃんと待っていてくれて、Abu Simbelも見学することができました。 Luxorホテルには予定より3時間以上遅れての到着(23時！！)。長い距離運転手さんはちゃんと運転してくれ、感謝。 同ツアーのオーナーはツアー前から色々と献身的に質問に答えてくれたり、予定変更の対応、Luxorのホテルも紹介してくれた。紹介してくれたホテルも安く、そこそこ綺麗、場所にナイル川沿いで良く、予算を安く仕上げたい方にはとても良い。我々も当初予定していたホテルを辞めて、紹介してくれたホテルに変更。良かったです。 このツアー会社さん、よてもおすすめです。 Originally, this tour was supposed to be a trip from Luxor to Abu Simbel and back to Luxor, but due to our overall Egypt travel plans and available flight times, we needed to be picked up from Aswan and ultimately dropped off at our hotel in Luxor. The tour company successfully accommodated these changes. Even though our flight to Aswan was delayed by three hours, the driver waited for us, and we were still able to visit Abu Simbel. We arrived at our Luxor hotel more than three hours later than planned (at 11 PM!!). The driver drove a long distance, and we are very grateful. The owner of the tour company was very dedicated, answering our questions before the tour, accommodating our schedule changes, and even recommending a hotel in Luxor. The hotel they recommended was inexpensive, reasonably clean, and in a good location along the Nile River, making it perfect for those who want to keep their budget low. We even canceled our originally planned hotel and switched to the one they recommended. It was a good decision. We highly recommend this tour company.

Extremely long day but Abu Simbal is very special
Very long day, driver knew no English and we had to warn him about irrational driving. we also had to deal with police checkpoints with crooked cops requesting tips for us to move and in one instance made us take a dirt road instead of the normal highway which delayed us at least an hour and all because our driver didn't tell us the police wanted $40 for us to use the normal highway. Another time the driver allowed a "Policeman" to drive with us for 40 kilometers because he was afraid to say no to the policeman. Once arrived, Abu Simbal was wonderful and special, not to be missed, but you don't have much time before you have to turn back.

This Luxor to Abu Simbel Private Tour was absolutely amazing! The long drive was totally worth it, especially with the breathtak
This Luxor to Abu Simbel Private Tour was absolutely amazing! The long drive was totally worth it, especially with the breathtaking views of the desert sunrise and sunset along the way. The guide was knowledgeable and made the experience even more special with fascinating stories about the temples. Both Abu Simbel and the Nefertari Temple were stunning, and having tickets included made everything smooth and stress-free. The transportation was comfortable, and the early morning departure allowed us to enjoy the sites without the heavy crowds. If you're in Luxor and want to visit Abu Simbel in the best way possible, I highly recommend this tour! ✅ Comfortable and hassle-free trip ✅ Incredible historical sites ✅ Breathtaking desert views ✅ Expert guide Would definitely book again! 🚀😊

Luxor to Abul Simbel
Highly recommend this trip. Even though it is 500km or 5-1/2 hr to 6 hr drive each way, the drive is pleasant, and you get to see desert sunrise and sunset. Also see the desert landscape and green area around Aswan where there is abundance of water. You can see both Abul Simbel and Nefertari temples in 2+ hours. To me this is the best way to visit Abu Simbel. Spending 4 days in a cruise ship sailing from Luxor is too long. Service from Egydise Tours is excellent. You can leave your hotel in Luxor as early as 4:00am and be back by 6-7pm.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, garen_c, for your wonderful review! 😊 We're thrilled that you had an amazing experience on your trip from Luxor to Abu Simbel. The journey may be long, but as you mentioned, the stunning desert sunrise, breathtaking landscapes, and the beauty of Abu Simbel make it absolutely worth it! 🚗✨ At Egydise Tours, we strive to offer the best service and the most comfortable travel experience. If you're ever back in Egypt, we'd love to take you on another unforgettable adventure! Safe travels and see you again soon! 🌍🌅

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxor to Abu Simbel Private Tour with Tickets & VIP Access: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor to Abu Simbel Private Tour with Tickets & VIP Access cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxor to Abu Simbel Private Tour with Tickets & VIP Access take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Luxor is not rushed.
Is Luxor to Abu Simbel Private Tour with Tickets & VIP Access worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxor to Abu Simbel Private Tour with Tickets & VIP Access?
+
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 Luxor to Abu Simbel Private Tour with Tickets & VIP Access suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor to Abu Simbel Private Tour with Tickets & VIP Access?
+
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 Luxor 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 Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor to Abu Simbel Private Tour with Tickets & VIP Access 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 Luxor 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 Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half day Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour of Luxor private. 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 Luxor?
+
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 Luxor?
+
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.
