          Enjoy your Trip to Abu Simbel. we will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan from 4 am to 4h30 am by a modern air-conditioned coach to enjoy a small group tour to Abu Simbel. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. 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. The Temple of Ramsses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramsses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramssess II.The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramsses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one. Later on, you will be escorted back from Abu Simbel to your hotel in Aswan. Show less

          Highly recommend
          We hired a driver for four days, traveling from Aswan to Luxor on day one. Day two we went to Dendra, which we highly recommend. Days three and four were around the West Bank in Luxor. He was punctual and drove safely. We had adequate stops and the car was clean and comfortable. We were able to communicate clearly with a translation app when necessary. Mina coordinated all this via WhatsApp and was helpful and always anticipated our questions. Also, very fair pricing. Highly recommend!

          Felucca cruise 3 days 2 nights Aswan Comombo. Visits temples Komombo Edfu with guides. Driver to Luxor
          We trusted Mina to organize our private cruise for 2 people in a felucca from Aswan to Komombo. Then a driver for visits with French-speaking guides to the temples of Komombo and Edfu. To finish the trip with the driver to our hotel in Luxor. Mina set up a very professional organization. Mina intervened with an unscrupulous merchant for a purchase that we had made at the temple of Edfu. We thank him for his help and for his seriousness. I also thank Captain Emad without forgetting his assistant Ado for the wonderful timeless journey on his felucca. Emad gave us a surprise visit to a school in a village. Mina, I advise you to add this visit to the description of your program. We could have planned school supplies (notebooks, pens) to offer directly to the children.

          An incredible Egyptian adventure
          We took the three day trip from Aswan to Kom Ombo on our private feluca with an amazing crew. On our way, we visited three temples : Philae, Kom Ombo and a private car took us to Edfu, and Louxor, our final destination. We felt very safe and taken care of on the boat and we loved Iman, our great bubbly funny guide. It was a transforming experience that I'll never forget. Mina was always prompt to answer all our questions and even got out of his way to make sure the wallet I dropped on the car floor was returned. We loved every minute of this trip.

          This place practices ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!
          I went to this place today with my family for send boarding and overall had an OK experience. Although the teacher and the instructor did not speak a single word of English and was not able to explain to us what to do we were able to figure it out. at the end of the activity, we walked inside the building to get a cup of water where I noticed a huge crocodile that was locked in a tiny cage where it could not move. The crocodile had no water, no food and was left in terrible condition. I was shocked and discussed by what I saw and if you have any integrity and any care for animals in your life, you will boycott this place immediately. I have uploaded photos of the disgusting scene, and I hope you are ashamed of yourself for treating a creature this way. I then asked the owner of it how long it had been in a cage like this and he explained that it was captured as a kid and had been there for 10 years. is literally smaller than a prison animal cannot move a muscle. Purely and utterly disgusting.

          travel outside the tourist circuits
          Second trip to Egypt with Mina. Discoveries of little-known sites. Everything went perfectly, Mina was in contact with us every day. We have always slept and eaten in very good places and are happy to have been able to visit Egypt far from the crowds. We'll come back a third time!

          Unforgettable experience and a good workout :)
          Overall: a once in a lifetime experience for anyone. Easy to figure out but requires being a bit adventurous and having above average fitness levels to enjoy, otherwise you will get tired in 15 minutes. We both know how to snowboard which helps, but it’s quite different on the sand! And climbing back up is quite tiring. But it’s totally worth the experience. Details: pickup at hotel, crossed the nile by boat then arrived to the first location, we walked up the hill then went for a few rides. After a few times we were already tired and took a break, during which the boat took us to another spot nearby. We then went for a few more rides on a beautiful slope. At the end we got some complimentary drinks and got brought back to our hotel. In the end we were tired but very happy. Our guide Abdo was phenomenal despite fasting (Ramadan). Our only feedback for the tour operator would be more of a suggestion: try and organize an ATV or small truck to bring people back up. That would make the experience way more fun (more rides) and less tiring. All in all a highly recommended experience and something different to your usual Aswan activities of temples and sightseeing tours ;)

          Excellent Value for Money
          All aspects of our experience, including private transfers and guides, were incredibly well-organized and provided excellent value for money. We would definitely choose to book with them again when we return. Highly recommended!

          What a treat.
          Excellent guide. Well organized but flexible. Everything was on time and efficient. Special note for our personal guide Emad Habib who has been proficient in both the big History of ancient Egypt and the small stories that spices it all. I warmly recommend him !

          Once in a lifetime experience!
          We had an amazing time! The guide was so helpful and friendly. He collected us in the boat, took us to the dunes, explained everything clearly, had all of the equipment, and showed us the best way to 'surf' the sand. It was such a fun time (as well as quite tiring after an hour!) and we got some great photos as well. The location is so beautiful with awesome views, and afterwards we were taken for traditional Nubian coffee to relax in the shade. A must-do!

          Very great experience
          Very great experience. The guide knows very well their job, never on late, very patients, only one reserve about one in Luxor, try to send us too much extra... Mina was very patient with my request before the trip and during the visit with my kids.

          Magic Egyptian trip
          First trip to Egypt, I wanted an Egyptian guide. Thanks google, I found mina directly on it and knew it was him. We agreed on an 8-day circuit with the main sites to visit, criss-crossing the country, by car, night train, boat, horse-drawn carriage and 4*4 in the desert for a magical night. Intense, rich, and great to be amazed every day and learn a lot about this magical civilization for thousands of years. The whole team of guides is great, great exchanges, laughter and great energy. I recommend without hesitation! To be both free and autonomous and guided every day. Thank you Egypt 🙏 thank you Mina 🙏 Choukran! Helen and Alexander

          Worth it!
          It was amazing we will never forget this night in the white desert. Mina sent me the whole plan before and answered all my questions. Omar took care of everything and was so kind. We really appreciated our time with him and the camping night. The food was amazing as well! You will not regret it. The only bad thing was the hotel for the second night that wasn’t really great.
