Abu Simdel and Nubian village - Abu Simdel is one of the places that show what man is capable of doing to amaze the world with its majesty and beauty. If you are passionate about architecture and history, this is the ideal place to visit. The interior with its large columns and hieroglyphics that tell events that happened thousands of years ago, connect us with the way of life of that time that has served as the basis for our current life. You're going to love it!

Fantastic Experience - We were picked up early in the morning in a comfortable air conditioned van. The drive was long but so worth it to experience the magnificent temples at Abu Simbel. Our guide, Michael Samy, was very pleasant and knowledgeable and even got us some falafel to eat. The visit to the Nubian Village was lovely as well as the boat ride across the Nile to get there. Great experience overall!

wonderful day! - This tour was a wonderful experience that we never forget. Ahmed was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who made the tour fun and informative. He took me to the Abu Simbel Temples, where I was amazed by the huge and beautiful statues of Ramses II and his wife Nefertari. He explained the history and significance of these temples, and how they were moved from their original location to save them from flooding when the Aswan High Dam was built . After visiting the Abu Simbel Temples, we took a boat ride on Lake Nasser, the largest artificial lake in the world. The lake was calm and scenic, and we saw some birds and crocodiles along the way. We stopped at a Nubian village on Sehel Island, where we met some lovely locals who showed us their culture and traditions. They invited us to their homes, where we saw their colorful crafts, costumes, and houses. They also served us some delicious Nubian food and drink at a local restaurant . This private day tour to Abu Simbel Temples and Nubian Village from Aswan was a great way to see the best of Egypt. Ahmed was a professional and courteous guide who took care of everything. He picked us up and dropped us off at hotel in Aswan, and provided us with bottled water and all service charges and taxes. He also answered all our questions and made us feel comfortable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the ancient wonders of Abu Simbel and the Nubian culture on a private day tour from Aswan. Egypt Super Tours is a reliable and trustworthy company that offers quality service and customer satisfaction. Thank you, Ahmed, for making our trip to Aswan unforgettable.

Professional organiser company! - we book with the same company, Cairo Luxor and Aswan If you are looking for a memorable and unique experience in Aswan, you should book the private day tour with Egypt Super Tours. The tour company was very professional and reliable, and they arranged everything for me from the pick-up to the drop-off. The tour guide was an expert in the history and culture of this region, and he shared many interesting facts and stories with me. The driver was also very friendly and helpful, and he drove safely and smoothly. The temples of Abu Simbel were magnificent and awe-inspiring, and I was amazed by the engineering and artistry of the ancient Egyptians. The Nubian village was a lovely contrast to the temples, as it was a peaceful and colorful place where I met some of the local people and learned about their traditions and lifestyle. I also enjoyed a delicious lunch at a Nubian house, which was a nice touch. This tour was one of the best experiences I ever had in my travels, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see the beauty and diversity of Aswan In a day!
