| Aswan | To Abu Simbel Posted: Tue September 11, 2007 01:58 PM UTC
According to my draft travel plan, on Dec. 30th I m going to Abu Simbel. I will arrive to Aswan early in the morning that day. What options do I have if I want to do Aswan to Abu simbel and back to Aswan by road? I know there is a convoy at 11am. Is it possible to go and return by public bus? Can I arrange it at the spot to buy a tour by private bus, taxi? Are the local agencies reliable? How much it will cost? How long it will take? If I want to prebook a tour, any suggestions for tour operators? Thank you!

Yes, you can do it by public bus. Read what I did last July here:
http://forum.virtualtourist.com/discussion-373875- There are several departures per day by public bus (Upper Egypt Bus Company) from Aswan to Abu Simbel and v.v. I don't remember exactly but the next departure after the 8 o'clock bus is either 10 or 11. Trip takes four hours, which leaves you enough time to visit the temples and return with an evening bus from Abu Simbel to Aswan. Price: 21 Egyptian pounds per person, one way.
