They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate in order to save these temples from the flood.

Traveler reviews
A great experience not to be missed.
Great experience from start to finish. Our driver Karim did a great job on such a long journey. Our guide Magdy was brilliant, during the last hour of the journey to Abu Simbel he explained the history of the temples, about their relocation, various paintings and things we should look out for as he was not able to accompany us into the temples. So glad he did this in the comfort of the air conditioned car rather than in the 40+degrees heat of the desert where there was little shade. Lovely lunch of fresh fish, rice and salad before our long return to Aswan. Would we recommend this trip with Madgy? I like so!!
Unforgettable experience
We had an amazing time, truly unforgettable. Our guide was was Samir Gaber, he is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and super helpful. I will recommend this tour to all my family and friends. It was a perfect day. Thank you very much to our driver and guide. We will remember this day for the rest of our lives.
Best full-day tours
This time, only two people came from Cairo for the tour, so it was almost a private tour. Flights were rescheduled last minute, but I enjoyed it more than enough until then. The Temple of Absimbel was also very moving, but I'm glad the Guide explained it very clearly. We were also given a tour of the city of Aswan and were very happy to buy delicious coconut juice and lots of spices. If you are not sure how to get to Abu Simbel Temple, consider this tour. I think the tour is absolutely satisfying more than the price. We are so excited to see him again who Guided us.
Easy private tour to Abu Simbel
Great tour. Driver picked us up on time and got us there win 3.25 hours with a stop for toilet / coffee. Had two hours strolling around the temples before returning for 3.15pm. Would recommend 10/10
Abu Simbel and More
We flew from Cairo to Aswan and were met by our guide Emad Aiad and driver Ahmed. We felt that we were in very good hands, from the driving to the extensive knowledge we were given on the way to Abu Simbel. Lunch was delicious, and the stops in Aswan to visit essence and spice shops all enhanced the experience. It was a long day, ending with the flight back to Cairo, but everything went smoothly and anyone who is in Cairo and wants a day trip to Abu Simbel should definitely consider this tour.
