The journey was well-organized, and the guide made sure we learned about the history of the temples. The statues and details on the walls were so impressive. It was a long day, but totally worth it to see such an important part of Egypt’s history!

Thank you for your review I hope you got a good service with our company
We did a private tour to Abu Simbel. If not visiting with a group of friends or family, I would recommend a private tour of Abu Simbel with H&M Tour. We had our guide Hussein pick us up from the hotel at Aswan. The tour was smooth and we got to spend adequate time at the temples. Post the tour we went for lunch at a Nubian restaurant at Aswan that served local cuisine. The food and the view from the restaurant was worth the money. Hussein helped us plan our tour to Luxor and back. By the end of our Aswan-luxor trip we were friends with Hussein . He takes a keen interest in Egypt's socio-political and economic condition. Being from an emerging economy myself, we had engaging conversation about our respective societies. I would recommend Hussein with H&M Tour to anyone looking at a private tour to Abu Simbel. Needless to say, the temples are splendid and it's really worth getting up at 4 am in the morning
Thank you for your review I hope you got a good service with our company
