Best of everything of Egypt in 2 days
From the beginning to the end I have a full support for every doubts and concerns. Since the 24/7 support of Gammal from operation department, the kindness from Amir in Cairo, the wisdom of my two tours guide Betro Helmry in Aswan to explain me details in Abu silmbel to Mahmlud nafeh in luxor that he been a loca and live in luxor have the experience to let me know all the historic facts;so if you are a history fan of the Egypt culture I recommend 100% this trip, very professional and you never feel alone in a foreign country I leave Egypt very satisfied

Recommended for any first timers to Egypt!
This was money very well spent. Our Tour Guide Ashraf was very knowledgeable in every aspect and the driver was also fantastic. We spent the day going to the temples followed by lunch at a local restaurant that we would never have tried if we didn't go through Emo. We also stopped at an impressive spice shop that is much cheaper and fresher than anything we can get back home. We are very glad we chose to go with Emo Tours instead of trying to do this on our own. Would definitely use again for future sightseeing.
Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer Thank you so much for sharing your travel experience you had with us. The fact that you mention that our tours were without doubt the best run tours that you’ve ever been on means a lot to us! We love to read that you enjoyed all the destinations and activities 100%, that the itinerary suited you perfectly, that you loved the restaurants we picked and that you had a lot of fun! Because that’s exactly what we want for you and our visitors We hope to see you again Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt

Incredible experience
I had 2 incredible days! First day was with Ahmed Omar who is just really kind and incredibly knowledgable about the temples in the Aswan area. The hotel Tolip in Aswan where you stay for the night is great. I even got a free upgrade to a room with spectacular Nile views. On the second day is was time for Abu Simbel. One of the great sights in Egypt in my opinion. My guide for this day was Irini who was again very knowledgeable and just the sweetest person. All the cars they use are brand spanking new so if you are on a private trip, you will also enjoy a lot of great comfort. Also the drivers are great and very attentive. Use Emo Tours. They have made my Egypt experience one to not forget :).
Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer Thank you so much for your kind words, We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us .We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. We look forward to seeing you again in the future! Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt

Very good way to visit Abu Simbel (plus more) if you are in Luxor
Emo Tours Luxor offered us a great two day tour. Our tour guide Hesham was excellent and so was our driver Walid. This is a very good way to go and see Abu Simbel if you are staying in Luxor, and visiting a few other places on the way. Edfu and Kom Ombo were very interesting temples and well worth the visit and on the final day, Abu Simbel was spectacular. My sister and me were 30 minutes late for starting the tour on the first day, because of our hot air balloon trip that morning had run over, but this was no problem for Emo tours and our guide who just waited for us. A few things to keep in mind for the trip: - Even though it says lunch is included each day in the intro description, this is not correct. - We had two different tour guides on each of the days. One based in Luxor, the other in Aswan. - The stay in Aswan is not at the Pyramisa Isis Aswan Hotel. It is instead at the Basma Hotel (this hotel is fine, but it only has wifi in the lobby).
Response from the operator: Dear our valued customer Thank you for writing this fantastic review and giving our dealership such an excellent star rating . It’s great to hear we were able to go above and beyond your expectations and provide you with a memorable experience . We look forward to seeing you again soon . Best regards, Emo Tours Egypt

Good tour to see many sites in two days........but a lot of time in bus/car
Day 1 was partially good with the Visits to Edfu and Kom Ombo temples but the visit to the high dam is not really that interesting and does not add a lot of value to this tour. Coordination and logistics were good given the complexities of the route with multiple security checkpoints along the way. Day 2 was better with the visit to Abu Simbel and the tour guide (Mustafa) provided good information as context during our trip. This leg of the tour is very long driving (3 hours x 2) for 2 hours of sightseeing at Abu Simbel. But worth the trip if you are willing to sit in the car for that long. Emo Tours coordination and security concerns is outstanding as we took three tours during this trip with them and this tour requires very high consideration of security given all the checkpoints (military and police) along the way.
Response from the operator: Dear Esteemed Guest, Your comments are always important as it help us ameliorating our quality of service which is our main concern to satisfy our customers. Any information received from your side; EmoTours will take it into consideration with full care. We are concerned about the satisfaction of our clients to ensure that services meet our expectations according to an evaluation system which we have set up to especially measuring quality of service, analyzing results for future planning and measuring guest satisfaction as well. Sincerely, Emo Tours Egypt

Overnight Trip to Aswan From Luxor Visiting Abu Simbel Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Overnight Trip to Aswan From Luxor Visiting Abu Simbel Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $400 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 Overnight Trip to Aswan From Luxor Visiting Abu Simbel Temple take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Overnight Trip to Aswan From Luxor Visiting Abu Simbel Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 14 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 Overnight Trip to Aswan From Luxor Visiting Abu Simbel Temple?
+
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 Overnight Trip to Aswan From Luxor Visiting Abu Simbel Temple suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Overnight Trip to Aswan From Luxor Visiting Abu Simbel Temple?
+
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 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Overnight Trip to Aswan From Luxor Visiting Abu Simbel Temple 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 Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), 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.
