Not to be missed - A company that gives information in advance and picks you up on time, which is not often the case.
The guide, Ahmed, was exceptional his explanations were not only a presentation of the photos and a visit to the site but a real explanation of the details of the engravings as well as hieroglyphics.
I highly recommend it.

Good tour :) - Good tour, pickup at the hotel of Mustafa went smoothly. The bus is for 1.90m people a bit narrow but sufficient, good value for money :)
We even arrived a little earlier than many large coaches and escaped the worst crowds.

Overall, the... - Overall, the beauty of Abu Simbel temples is worth the sacrifice of waking up in the middle of the night to leave! Guide in traditional Nubian tunic very nice, just a brief description of the temples from the outside. After the long journey, from Aswan, I would have liked to have more time to admire the site.

Not worth your time. - I strongly do NOT recommend this company.
I booked what was advertised as a guided tour to Abu Simbel, but in reality, it was little more than transportation. Considering the total duration (over 10 hours), the experience is absolutely not worth your time.
The “guided” portion consisted of less than 10 minutes of explanation outside one of the temples. After that, there was no further guidance whatsoever. We were then given only 60 minutes of free time to visit both temples — which forces you to rush through one of Egypt’s most iconic sites without truly experiencing it.
A brief 10-minute talk does not qualify as a guided tour. Advertising this as such is misleading and, frankly, dishonest.
What makes matters worse is the company’s unacceptable behavior. At the end of the tour, the guide took my phone under the pretense of checking my ticket and proceeded to leave a review on my behalf without my consent. This is completely unethical and a serious breach of trust.
Between the poor planning, extremely limited time at the destination, and unethical conduct, I cannot recommend this company under any circumstances.
