Our driver was superb, the journey took 3.5 hours each way, and we felt completely safe the whole time. He managed to avoid potholes and uneven road surfaces very well. Our guide took advantage of the journey to have a nap. He gave us a 20 minute photo lecture in front of the temple, which was informative background to moving the temples, but otherwise he was not very engaging. The temples were amazing, but we felt rushed looking round them so we could meet up with our guide for the return journey. To miss crowds we didn’t leave our hotel in Aswan at 8am, in hindsight 7am would have given us more time at Abu Simbel.

It's a long drive to Abu Simbel from Aswan. We arrived after 3.5 hours with one brief stop along the way. The earlier you can leave the better. We had a great guide in Mara. Very knowledgeable and thorough. You will enjoy Abu Simbel but bring a book for the long drive. There is nothing to see along the way but desert. Don't forget to tip your driver cause that is a long day for them behind the wheel.
