The Smaller Temple is dedicated to Nefertari, depicted as the Goddesses Isis and Hathor.

From 1964-68, UNESCO initiated the move of both temples to a plateau on the cliffs to protect them from flooding.

The temples were dismantled, moved 60m up the cliff that they originally stood on and were reassembled. After gazing at these Nubian Monuments, you will have lunch and be brought back to your Luxor hotel (22.00).

Fantastic day trips to Abu Simbel and Edfu/Isis temples. The amazing guide Mohammad is very knowledgeable, always trying to make sure our trip safe and peace.. Always make us comfortable and happy during the trip. He arranged the trip plan to fulfill all the requests we had. We requested to stay at the temple longer than scheduled, that made our trip finished late than planned. However The professional driver Khaled, he drove us in safe the whole day of two trips till really late time to make sure we arrived back to the hotel in safe.

Very satisfying experience from the booking , arrangement and the touring.
That’s why we decided to add Edfu/Isis tour with them right just after the day of Abu Simbel tour.
Strongly recommended for friends, families trips!!!

It’s definitely a long day, but it was worth it. Abu Simbel was amazing, and our guide, Adam, was so knowledgeable and excited to share with us. He was also a great photographer! We ended up with some time because Abu Simbel was practically empty this time of year, so he was willing to add a quick stop in Aswan to see the unfinished obelisk and take a boat up the Nile for some tea in one of the local Nubian villages. Lunch outside Abu Simbel was delicious, as well. The communication with company before the tour was amazing—Amina was so helpful and willing to answer questions.

We were hesitant because this tour didn’t have a lot of reviews on Viator when we booked, but it was one of our best days in Egypt. We loved every second of it and would highly suggest it!

The tour worked for the allotted time we had. And it was nice they dropped us off at Aswan airport. And nice experience to see Abu Simbel. What would have made the journey better would have been a Wi-Fi hotspot in the car. Otherwise long drive with limited tour at Abu Simbel. But like I said it worked for our needs.

The 1 day tour is a perfect way to visit Abu Simbel from Luxor if you do not wish to stay overnight somewhere. It includes a lot of sitting in the car but there are a few stops on the way and plenty of time in the destination. The pick up from the hotel worked well. The guide Hadeer and the driver were very nice people and kept making sure that everything was okay. I am especially pleased with the booking experience including very clear instructions about payment and time schedule etc. This is a safe way to explore one of the major attractions of ancient Egypt. Highly recommended.

The best money I spent. The guide Kamal and the driver Abdalla were very polite and provided great hospitality. We felt secure from pick up to drop off, in fact they went out of their way to take me and my husband to buy a charger. The driver was on top of making us feel good providing water, refreshment mango juice and fruits( the best dates I ever tried in my life). The only thing that made me feel bad for them was how they have to hustle and how they get extortion by the police. These guys work very hard, but I guess is the system. Our guide explained everything well and allowed us plenty of free time. To be honest we were hesitant wether to book this trip or not since is new in Viator, but I can assure you’ll have the time of your life. Car is comfortable too, we are tall , 6 feet and 6.02 and we fitted perfectly. Also , shout out to the sweetest Dutch operator you can find, Amina, very resourceful and helpful. Also, don’t get scared if when driving to Abu Simbel you encounter many police check points, is normal and the driver/ guide will explain what to do.

One of the best outings ever. Our guide Hossam explained everything about the construction and the relocation of the temples. Lake Nasser had an amazing view but the best part was watching the sunrise in the desert.
