What you'll see and do
Abu Simbel
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 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. Spend around 3 hours there then take the way back to Aswan

Morning at Abu Simbel
It was practically seamless from the Dahabiya to Abu Simbel. Our guide, Mohamed Elshaer, did a wonderful job in making us understand how Abu Simbel came to be…with sheer passion.

Amazing Private Tour During Abu Simbel Sun Festival!
We were fortunate to be in Abu Simbel to witness the Sun Festival which happens 2x's a year. We attended February 22. It is a rare chance for the phenomenon of solar alignment on the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Ramses II. Our incredible guide, Dr. Ashraf was waiting for us at 1am as we traveled in a 4-hour caravan of people all headed to see the sun god statues of the inner sanctuary, normally shrouded in darkness, illuminated by a beam of sunlight. We arrived before dawn, with enough time to get in line and watch the sun rise and eventually the light into the temple! We were so grateful that Dr. Ashraf was with us to help us navigate the entire day. Everything was timed just perfectly! He taught us so much during our trip and was always accommodating our needs. It was really an incredible experience that we will cherish for a lifetime! Definitely worth adding to your itinerary, even if its not during celebration. Amazing temple, well preserved.

Great experience
Very efficient and honest agency: you can plan your trip easly thanks to a fast and clear communication on whatsapp. They're flexible and keep low prices for what they offers. The car was new, clean and comforable. The guide was very cultured. They have been also helpful with the communication with hotels and other egyptian people. I recommend them to anyone.

Everything was taken care of
No thoughts required! We had an awesome time in Egypt last week. We really felt like we were able to see it all! Hany did an awesome job setting us up with knowledgeable tour guides (Fatima and Mohamed) who filled us with information and history on Egypt. All we needed to do was buy plane tickets and EVERYTHING else was handled by the team. Thank you so much for an unforgettable trip to a beautiful country!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour to Abu Simbel Temple From Aswan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Private Tour to Abu Simbel Temple From Aswan cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Tour to Abu Simbel Temple 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 Tour to Abu Simbel Temple From Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Tour to Abu Simbel Temple 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 Tour to Abu Simbel Temple From Aswan suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Abu Simbel Temple From Aswan?
+
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 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 Tour to Abu Simbel Temple 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.
