Giftun Islands Vacations from ￥35,313

Staffs were so nice and friendly. The hotel needs some renovation and new carpet.

We chose to overnight in Abu Simbel and there was limited choice for hotels. Most tourists do the day bus tour. We hired a driver and spent the night. The up side was we were able to see the temple with only two other people onsite. Great experience. The resort is huge, appears to consist of apartments and the layout reminded me of Florida. Buildings are very spread out with parking in front. It is completely walled in with security. We had a 3 bedroom with full kitchen. Very clean and comfortable but limited wares. Check in and out was excellent. Great service. Outside of the apartment was quite dusty but then again you are surrounded by desert. The pool was like ice and looked as if the pump filter needed to be turned on. Your only dining option is at the resort unless you have a car and I am not sure how good the options in Abu Simbel are. Dinner in the resort was good but on the expensive side for Egypt. Breakfast was good and included with the room. There was a buffet which surprised us since there did not seem to be many people at the resort. The grounds are lovely and there is a pretty marina on site.

The folks who run this place couldn’t be nicer or more helpful. The room was comfortable. The food was good.
