We had an amazing day trip with Karam to Abu Simbel. Karam was so friendly and offered us amazing hospitality. He treated us like family and he was lovely to chat to. He went out of his way to make everything very special and would 100% recommend for all tours.
Karam is very nice and easy to chat with. We spent a total of two days with him and had a very pleasant experience with him. Would go again anytime!
We had an absolute fabulous day with Karam Gamal (Tomas) He speaks excellent English and was super friendly and very helpful. The Abu Simbel temple was worth the 3.5hr drive. (Oneway) The scenery along the way was sparse yet interesting. We highly recommend Karam Gamal Travel 10/10
We had a wonderful experience with Karam on our trip to Abu Simbel. From start to finish, everything felt comfortable, calm, and very well taken care of. The car was exceptional, especially compared to the usual standards in Egypt — very comfortable, clean, and ideal for such a long journey. Karam’s driving was safe and smooth at all times, which made the trip feel relaxed and stress-free. He was also incredibly attentive to our needs. The food stops were thoughtfully chosen and adapted to us, with no tourist traps at all — just simple, good places. Throughout the day, he was flexible with timing, never rushing us, and always checking that we were comfortable. More than just a driver, he truly took care of us. A reliable, kind, and professional person who made a long day feel easy and enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend him without hesitation.
Nice car, good driving through the desert (including through a sandstorm) and fair price, all in all got exactly what I asked for, communication and pickup etc were easy.
Karam was a special find for me. I had spent the night before canceling and rebooking tours due to my tight schedule (ASW to CAI flight 2:30pm), and had booked him last minute. He assured he would be able to get us to Abu Simbel, enjoy the tour, and have enough time to get dropped off at the airport (instead of my hotel). What he didn't mention was his natural hospitality. You immediately feel welcomed and taken care of with Karam, who has a natural coolness and aura to him that really tells your experience with him will be one of a kind! He got us some snacks both legs of the trip (ask for the falafel sandwich after Abu Simbel!), and got us to ASW airport with 2 hours to spare! He was fast and efficient without having us feeling rushed, which was much needed after the rushing we were doing the past few days. He said next time, with more prior notice, he could host us at his place for a more seamless trip. With Karam, you're not just clients, you're family!
Tomas was an excellence Driver/guide. he picked us up at the correct time and was really friendly and gave us snacks and drinks all the time. :D
Highly recommend Karam. He is very professional and friendly. He provided very pleasant tour from Aswan to Abu Simbel at reasonable price. His car is very comfortable and clean.
Karam was an amazing guide—very kind, professional, and extremely helpful throughout our trip. I visited with my son, and he made sure everything was smooth and enjoyable for us. We explored all the key locations, and the entire experience felt well-organized and memorable. Karam even helped us with a ride to the airport the next day, which we greatly appreciated. Highly recommend Karam for anyone visiting Abu Simbel—you’ll be in great hands!
Abu Simbel is really impressive. The trip from Aswan is quite long but it worth each minute spent travelling. The local guide was fine, providing enough information about history. The temples are incredibles, we indulge ourselves walking inside, admiring all the ancient illustrations carved on the rock walls. Karam showed up sharp at the agreed time (according our preferences), driving safely to the site. He is very kind and always checking our needs and preferences, absolutely recommendable
We had the luck to meet him for a short tour to File temple and we ended up with three days of tours! Very trustworthy and honest. He took very good care of us and brought us to the best and authentic falafel and coffee shops on our way during the tour, never felt pressure to go. We laughed a lot , definitely highly recommended!
He is friendly and chill. He offered reasonable price and no hidden fee. He is good at English so no problem with communication. I can see he has passion for this work. An honest and relyable person
The tour guides were friendly and reliable, very chill, and didn't rush people. He offered good prices. He is good at English, so it is easy to communicate. He has much passion in showing around for us.
Karam is friendly and reliable. He offered reasonalble price and was patient with customers. His English is good，so I didn‘t find difficulty communicating with him.
The experience is incredible. Watching the sunrise in the desert and then arriving at Abu Simbel is unique. Karam was excellent, punctual, with a good car and a good driver. Very attentive and kind. The guide was fantastic in Spanish. Totally recommended. Thank you, Karam.
The place was amazing BUT I paid a service accompanied by a French guide that I did not have. My spouse and I moved from France to understand the mysteries of Egypt and found ourselves delivered to ourselves. Very disappointing.
