- Abu Simbel Temple Complex - The main highlight is the magnificent sun temple of Ramses II and the temple of Queen Nefertari. Discovered in 1813, both temples were nearly buried in sand. In 1960, with the assistance of the Egyptian government and UNESCO, they were relocated to prevent submersion by the Nile’s rising waters. Ramses II constructed the temple primarily to glorify himself, as evidenced by a mural depicting his renowned victory at the Battle of Kadesh, where his forces triumphed over their adversaries. To the north of Ramses’ temple lies the Nefertari Temple, built by Ramses II for his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari, among his 200 wives and concubines. After the visit, you will be comfortably returned to your Aswan hotel in your private air-conditioned vehicle.

Very nice trip on the Nile with Youseff as our excellent guide - We had a wonderful excursion in Aswan to Elephantine Island, including a beautiful felucca sailing trip on the Nile. Everything was perfectly organized and truly memorable.
Our guide Youssef was outstanding. He speaks excellent English, was extremely kind, professional, and attentive, and shared a lot of interesting and informative background about Aswan, the Nile, and the history of Elephantine Island. His explanations were clear, engaging, and easy to understand, and he always made sure we felt comfortable and had enough time to enjoy the experience.
The felucca ride itself was peaceful and authentic, offering stunning views of the Nile and Aswan. Thanks to Youssef’s warm personality and deep knowledge, this excursion became a real highlight of our trip.
We can highly recommend this tour and especially Youssef as a guide. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel - We had a fantastic tour through Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel. Our guide, Mansour, was attentive, insightful, and highly intelligent. He has a remarkable ability to read the needs of the group and tailor both his explanations and the route to match everyone’s interests and preferences. He was always one step ahead, anticipating every detail. We learned so much and wholeheartedly recommend Mansour to anyone wanting to uncover the secrets of Luxor and Aswan.
The restaurants selected during the tour were excellent, serving delicious traditional Egyptian and Nubian food — a real highlight of the experience.
Sun Pyramids delivered an excellent service — we’d definitely book with them again.

Private day trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel - We did a private day tour from Aswan to Abu Simbel. Our guide Kareem did a great job explaining everything to us and we went to the temples well prepared. The service was flawless and on time, conversation with Ezzat at the company via WhatsApp was quick and efficient. Thank you!

Private guided tour of sites around Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel!! - My wife and I used Sun Pyramid Tours to book our tours through Cairo and onward to Luxor, Aswan, Abe Simbel and the White Desert!! The entire process was very smooth and Nada to care of all our arrangements!!! We were met at the airport in Cairo, and our entire tour was reviewed with us!!! I wanted to give a special shout out to the team that took care of us in Luxor, and organized our time and activities there and onto Aswan. Ahmed Talaat was our guide and he made us feel right at home while we spent 5 days with him. He was funny, very talented with explaining the history of the sites, and gave you time alone to take pictures!!! He was always asking if we needed anything, and went above and beyond in getting us to shopping areas, finding things we needed…. (Like luggage to take our souvenirs back….. LOL), and making himself the available. We had two drivers during this time, and both were courteous, drove very safely, and always showed up at the times requested!!!
All in all, we would recommend Sun Pyramid, and especially Ahmed Talaat for your tour guide needs!!!
As a side note, my wife and I wanted to say we felt perfectly safe in every area of Egypt we visited……. Do not let perception stop you from visiting this wonderful country!!!!

Cruise on the Nile River - A great experience of visiting an ancient culture with priceless treasures for humanity.
Good explanation of the history, hierarchy and location.
Thanks to King Ahmed (Tour guide / Spanish) and the honesty of the driver Ahmed Ismail (recover my photographs).
