          Your private driver will collect you from your Aswan hotel around 3:30am – please note that for some Aswan hotels pickup may be earlier, and for others pickup may not be possible at all. Catch forty winks in air-conditioned comfort as you drive for three and a half hours across the desert to the small town of Abu Simbel – you may wish to order a breakfast box from your hotel. At the site, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of the UNESCO-listed temples. He'll clarify how they were built, for Ramses II and his wife Nefertari, and how they were transported, piece by piece, to this new location when the Aswan High Dam was set to flood their original location. You'll also learn about the meanings of the statues and inscriptions that adorn the temples, and have free time to explore and capture pictures of the temples reflected in Lake Nasser. After you'll drive back to Aswan, arriving at your hotel around 1:30pm, depending on location.

          7 Days Best of Egypt Tour with Luxor Travels
          Our visit to Egypt was amazing! Luxor Travels arranged everything perfectly. We were picked up at our hotel by our guide for four days Khalid Eltayeb. His sharing of his incredible knowledge of ancient Egypt made the trip. He is and excellent teacher. Our river boat, the M/S Concerto, was very comfortable with great food. Khalid was with us at every stop and had entrance tickets in hand at every temple and site. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has any interest in history. Hopefully you will get Khalid as your guide.

          7 Days Best of Egypt Tour
          This is a great tour of the best historical sites in Egypt with outstanding Tour Guides and Drivers. It was seamless travel with all tickets, permits, and most meals provided. We felt safe and the accomodations were excellent. Luxor Travels Ragab did a good job communicating the arrangements when booking and everything turned out perfect. Our Tour Guide in the Abu Simbel through Luxor segment was Khalid Eltayeb and I cannot say enough about his knowledge and story telling abilities. Khalid education and good English made the learning about the ancient and current civilizations easy. The river cruise on the Concerto was relaxing and had good food. Khalid escorted us to the overnight sleeping train from Luxor to Giza and was good. Our Tour Guide Mona Badr El Deen met us at the on the train station platform for a full 2 days of seeing Cairo and Alexandria. I was really impressed with our Driver Osama as the traffic and customs are quite different and would never attempt this on our own. Mona was also very knowledgeable and added much to our understanding. Everything stated in the tour was provided, even taking us to CAI airport at midnight as we had a 3:45 AM flight. We felt safe in the presence of our guides and all the arrangements and was one our best tours.

        We just did a day trip private tour to Abu Simbel with Luxor Travels. Our tour guide, Ali, was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. He took great care of us, making our 3+hr transport safe and comfortable. He was calm and respectful and took us to all places we needed to see and even accommodated a last minute stop at market to purchase special spices. All positive, we had a great time 😊
