You Travel on behalf of Broadway Travel charged us £85 each for a 10 1/2 our round trip by coach for a 45 minute unguided tour that cost £1.50 to get in. You would be better getting a cab, a lot cheaper and quicker. Because...More

I was slightly offput by the early morning start to get to Abu Simbel from Aswan, but if anyone is in any doubt - please do it, you will not regret it. we have done various trips and seen temples in Egypt but this has...More

Abu Simbel is amazing, my daughter said this should have been the first temple. If it was the first the rest would have been a disappointment, as the size alone is just amazing. The drive through the desert went rather fast we started very early...More

All I can say is WOW> This was my favorite place in Egypt. The Temples have little side rooms that you can walk in. Beware of bats though!

We took a 4 hour bus tour to Abu Simbel from Luxor. (Left around 4 am.) We spent about 3 hours at Abu Simbel, then 4 hours back to Luxor. Although it was a long day, it was well worth it. Abu Simbel is simply...More

How can you top the Pyramids, the Sphinx? Go to Abu Simbel. My tour group took a 30-45 minute flight from Aswan, and then there's only one tour bus that drives to the site. It's a singular experience, stunning. Massive. No pictures are allowed inside...More

But in itself it is a wonderful enough engineering feat to justify the 3 hours drive in the desert by itself. The temples, now about 200 ft. higher are out of the water. And the 4 ages of Ramses a spectacular work of art.
