The excursion and timings were exactly as described. Omar, our guide, was kind, informative and knowledgeable. The van was comfy and spacious and the 2 drivers (it's 6 hours of driving in total) were doing their job very well. This is something that counts if you know the driving standards in Egypt. These temples are something not to be missed, and the early arrival let's you explore it with less people. Also, the rising sun in the desert on the way is a valuable experience. Omar was doing a stop half-way for WC and coffee. Bring cash for toilets and tips. The only thing I would change, but it's in the hand of the Egyptian Govenrment, is to make that small groups could have explanations inside the temples with the guides. If you go during high season is advisable to book your Abu Simbel tickets on line (Egypt Monuments website) to avoid the queue in the ticket office. Also bring food and water, because the offer in the cafes around the temples is quite limited.
The trip was smooth and easy from start to finish. A representative from the company kept us well-informed of pick-up times and how the journey would go. Also, both journeys were quick, taking no more than 3.5 hours either way. We were lucky enough to arrive a little early, before all the main tour groups arrived, so the temples were quieter and easy to explore. Even though we were in a shared group tour, there only ended up being 4 of us, so it felt almost like a private tour. Our guide, Waleed, was brilliant. He was knowledgeable and attentive to all of us. He also helped us get the most out of the experience. I would be happy to use this company again in the future and would recommend this trip to anyone wanting an amazing experience.
