Started from my tour guide picking me up at the train station. The whole tour went by fast because Mila (forgive my spelling if wrong) keeps the conversation intuitive and answered all my questions. Great experience.

Samir brought us a fantastic journey in Aswan. He explains very well about every detail of Abu Simbel temple, the king the queen and all the gods. He also arranged very well the schedule of visiting and eating, even bought us extra snacks and drinks!

Best guide in Eygpt so far, Samir is very knowledgeable, he knows all the story about Abu Simbel and Egyptian history. His english is brilliant, and he is well prepared with maps and photos, so we are well debrifed before visiting the template, meanwhile, he is also very thoughtful ,preparing lunch, snacks and drinks for us.  

my review for the Abu Simbel tour from Aswan today : 10/10 Perfect tour, Samir is delightful, careful and arrange everything with effectivness. Arriving at Abu Simbel almost alone before the cruise/flight crowd was like a dream ¡! Also the nubian driver (Hamou ?) is great, smiling, and with a very nice drive. The car also was very nice and very comfortable. Congrats Emo Tours ;)

Our tour was "2 Days 1 Night Travel Package To Aswan & Luxor From Cairo", which was not available in the list of tours when submitting this review. All transfers were organised flawlessly, with comfortable cars and very good and kind drivers. We also had no issues with the flights that were arranged as part of the tour. In Asnwan, our guide, Samir, kindly suggested and explained how the order of activities of our tour could be adapted to optimise time, prevent waiting time due to crowded places, and also avoid the highest temperatures of the day at places without cover to protect against the direct sunlight. First, we went to Aswan High Dam (both Dams, actually) at the Nile. We received detailed explanation prior to our arrival so that we could enjoy our time there as much as possible. We were also offered to have photos taken at various locations, including at the monument for the friendship between Egypt and the Soviet Union, which it was noted to us that other tour companies were skipping. Next, we proceeded to the Temple of Philae. Here too we received detailed information (and we were presented with photos/postcards) before of arrival so that we could use our time there for photos and exploration, instead of waiting outside for explanations in the extreme heat. At the site itself we were showed several highlights of the temple. And we took plenty of photos too! The next stop of the tour was the Abu Simbel Temple Complex. Again we were pleased to received carefully prepared explanations before we arrived at the site. In particular, we were even given a map of both temples with information about what and where we should find the most important findings of each temple. This proved to be very valuable as we could optimise our exploration timr whilst making sure we would not miss the most important highlights of rach temple. Finally, we had soem delicious lunch food prepared as takeaway lunch, which we ate in the car as we headed back to our hotel. As we approached our hotel we were offered to ge taken to a restaurant where we could pay to have dinner, which we did. We could also enjoy a great rooftop view of Aswan. The tour finished with our arrival at our Hotel, where Samir assured that we would have no problem with check-in, breakfast and wake-up call. We were also explained the immediate next steps for the following second day of our tour, and offered to add one extra visitation site to the second day of our tour, which we accepted and paied for. Between the visit to each site we were taken to a papyro store, then to a gold/solver store and also to a spices/specialties stores, where we had to purchase some souvenirs. The transfer by car to Luxor was comfortable, and this time our guide, Mustafa only improved our overall experience with his expertise, dilligence and kindness. Luxor is fantastic - a must go.

I joined a private tour to Aswan last Friday. Thanks to the guide, Samir and the driver, Hisham, for their devoted service for my visit to Aswan. Samir knows so much about Aswan and was patient to answer my questions, taking great photos when I was a lone traveller. My friends are jealous that I had a great time in Aswan.

We took the trip to Abu Simbel. Our guide Samir was very prepared and friendly. He gave us a lot of information regarding the temple on the drive there and got treats for our kids on the way home. We enjoyed the trip very much.

We had a great tour at Abiu Simbel site with a private car and guide . We could travel safetly me and my family (4) and we had a good experience and fatastic explanation from our kind guide Mr Samir . He explained everything to us and we use his map that helped a lot inside the temples . Thank you Emo team and eapecially Mr Samir .

Philae Island is center of the cult of the goddess Isis. Like Abu Simbel, this temple complex was also moved to save it from flooding by Lake Nassar. There are courtyards flanked by granite lions and walls covered in ancient gods and goddesses. Trajan's Kiosk sits near the new shoreline with 14 majestic stone pillars.

Our guide Samir took us to Abu Simbel today. He did a great job explaining us the details of the two temples and gave us a map to help us see everything in both temples. He took care of us well at lunch. And Mohamed did an excellent job driving us to Abu Simbel from Aswan and back. Everything was perfectly planned and we had a great day.

We went on a day trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan. Our guide Samir was very knowledgeable and did everything to ensure we had a great day. Everything was provided for us, including food and drinks. He gave us an hour of background information in the comfortable air conditioner car using photographs and provided us with a detailed map of what we were going to see. Other guides seemed to only provide 10 minutes of background outside the temples, where it is extremely hot. Samir took photographs for us, and timed our arrival so we were pretty much alone. We recommend visiting in summer; although it is very hot you will find much less people! Review in Italian: Il tour con Samir é stato davvero bello. Le informazioni ricevute erano super dettagliate con l’aiuto di una mappa. Il tour é lungo ma la macchina era confortevole e con aria condizionata. Assolutamente consigliato. Bravo Samir. Grazie anche all’autista.

I had Samir as my guide at the Abu Simbel Temple in Egypt. He entertained me with humor and shared abundant knowledge, making the history and various subjects enjoyable to learn. He was incredibly kind and an excellent guide. Furthermore, our driver Ahmed ensured safe driving while skillfully navigating through traffic, quickly taking us to our destination. He was a highly competent driver.

was great Abu Simbel tour! Samir's excellent explanations helped us immerse ourselves in the history and culture of Abu Simbel. He also shared stories about history and mythology, which helped us gain a deeper understanding of Egypt. Ahmed was also a fantastic driver. He was highly professional and ensured our comfort and safety throughout the long journey to our destination.

My guide explained nicely about history, myth etc. the driver was also a fantastic. Tayso’s support was quick and nice:)
