I had a great day trip! It took 7 and a half hours to get from Luxor to Abu Simbel Temple, but the view from the windows kept me entertained. I stayed awake the entire trip and enjoyed the whole day. At the start of the trip, I received a bottle of water, potato chips, and some souvenirs. We had three breaks, as I recall. The driver, Felip, was friendly and a nice guy. Even though he couldn’t speak English, we had a great conversation using a translator app. I chose this tour because I wanted to stay in Luxor. It took 7 and a half hours, but it was worth it! When I saw the Abu Simbel Temple, i

This Abu Simbel experience was awesome! I was picked up from Luxor on time and driven to Abu Simbel with no hassle. My guide Waleed Adnan (aka the Nubian Ramses II) was very nice and informative. He gave me lots of free time to explore for myself also. I fully recommend this tour.

ガイドのモハリスさん(mokhiles)が凄く良かったです。私がリモートワークが入ったため、朝の出発が一時間近く遅れたのですが、ずっと待っていてくれました。 その後、道中美味しいレストランにも連れて行ってくれて良い思い出になりました。 ちょっと上乗せもあったかもしれませんが(笑) Our guide, Mokhiles, was really nice. Because I had to work remotely, our morning departure was delayed by almost an hour, but he waited for us the whole time. After that, he took us to some delicious restaurants along the way, which became a great memory.

We highly recommend taking this tour if you are staying at Luxor. Keep in mind the trip is long (around 5 hours to get there, and 5 to get back), but the experience is totally worth it, such an amazing temple. You get around 2 hours to visit the site. In our case, our driver was Bola Ashak, who made the long journey very enjoyable and kept us safe. We were so confident even to take a some naps. Bola makes the necessary stops for food or toilet. The car had air condition that kept us fresh. He picked us up at our hotel and was flexible even to drop us at the Luxor Museum. Our guide was Ahmed As

The company was very professional. The driver and the guide were very kind and useful, and took really good care of me despite the super long drive.

The driver drove safely and comfortably. The guide spoke simple, easy-to-understand English because I am not good at it! Thank you for your kind response, such as using the translation app to explain the temple!

アスワン発のツアーが多い中、ルクソールから日帰りで運転してもらえた。 滞在時間はそれほど長くなく、時間は1日かかったが貴重な体験ができた。解説も分かりやすかったため次に行くならアスワン泊まりで見に行きたくもある。
