    Very good private trip

    The driver Mohamed was professional and punctual. He drove well and safely together with another colleague. The car is modern and comfortable with good AC. We reached Abu Simbel about 30 min earlier than most of the tourist coming by bus which was a big plus as we could see the temple almost empty for half an hour. I recommend this private trip.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with our **Abu Simbel Private Day Tour**! 🌟 We're thrilled to hear that you had a smooth and enjoyable trip with Mohamed and his colleague. Punctuality, safety, and comfort are top priorities for us, and it's great to know we delivered on all fronts. Arriving early at Abu Simbel and getting to enjoy the temple without the crowds is indeed a special experience — we’re so glad you got to have that moment! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another unforgettable journey in Egypt. **Warm regards,** The Eyes of Egypt Team 🇪🇬

    Great experince using private tour company and driver for two trips!

    We booked a driver to take us from Luxor to Aswan which happened perfectly with George. We then recruited the same company for a day tour to Abu Simbel from Aswan as we didn’t want to join a tour group that would depart at 4 am. The company worked out our passports and hired a driver to pick us up the next morning. The next morning, the driver had gotten into an accident so he told us he would be delayed for several hours. After some back and forth and an hour’s day from the original time, we were picked up by a larger luxury group bus and driver who made our Abu Simbel trip a total success. It was well worth dealing with a private company and driver!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed review of your experiences with Eyes of Egypt, both for your Luxor to Aswan transfer and your Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan. We're delighted that overall, you had a great experience with our services. We're pleased to hear that your transfer from Luxor to Aswan with George went perfectly. It's wonderful that this positive experience led you to choose us again for your Abu Simbel tour. Regarding your Abu Simbel tour, we appreciate your feedback on how we handled the unexpected situation with the driver's accident. We always strive to find solutions quickly when unforeseen circumstances arise. While we regret the slight delay, we're glad that we were able to arrange alternative transportation with a luxury group bus, ensuring that your trip to Abu Simbel was a total success. Your comment about the value of dealing with a private company and driver is greatly appreciated. We believe that personalized service and flexibility are key to providing memorable travel experiences. Thank you for choosing Eyes of Egypt for your transfers and tours. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you again on your future travels in Egypt. Warm regards, The Eyes of Egypt - aswan Team 🇪🇬

    Private Full-Day Tour to Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Full-Day Tour to Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $111 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 Private Full-Day Tour to Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Private Full-Day Tour to Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 17 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 Private Full-Day Tour to Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan?

    +

    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 Private Full-Day Tour to Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day Tour to Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan?

    +

    Around 6 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Full-Day Tour to Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan 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.
