Abu Simbel Temple
As per the requested time, Bastet Travel expert Tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and drive to the south of Aswan which is around 3hrs and half drive to enjoy Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan with an air-conditioned vehicle. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate in order to save these temples from the flood. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramesses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramses II. The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called the Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramesses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the Sun God together as one.

An Amazing Day!
We had the best day with Magdy,our guide and David, our driver. Abu Simbel temples of Ramses 2 and Nephatari were amazing and Magdy took the time to explain what we would be seeing inside and how they were moved from their original spot. After we went to several specialty government owned stores and were given explanations and demonstrations of items they sold- papyrus, essence, spices, cotton/linens. We had the opportunity to try delicious foods, falafel, koshary and shawarma. The long day flew by. We highly recommend this tour and guide!

In the dark of 4 a.m., waiting for an hour with not respond from the agency
There were issues with the service. The tour was scheduled for 4:00 am and they showed up an hour late. We desperately tried to contact someone from the agency without success. They didn't apologize when they came to collect us, pretending not to understand or speak English, but they actually did. Standing there in the dark wondering if they would come, we were very stressed, We received an insufficient amount of service for the price we paid. I was not satisfied with it at all.
Response from the operator: Dear valuable guest, We are so sorry for the experience you got, we will investigate this case

The perfect day
Everything was perfect. Our guide Mahmoud made sure that our experience was nothing less than great. We loved it and recommended it 100%. We started later than usual, since we had no plane to catch, and we had the place almost for ourselves.

Abdol was the highlight of the tour
Our guide Abdol was knowledgeable and charming. His storytelling brought the Abu Simbel temples to life, and he made sure we didn’t miss any details. Truly unforgettable.

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 $80 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 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 Private Full Day Tour To Abu Simbel Temples From Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 13 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 8-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 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 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 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.
