- Abu Simbel Temple Complex - The Abu Simbel Temple’s 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, the temples were relocated to prevent submersion by the Nile’s rising waters. Ramses II constructed the temple primarily to glorify himself, as it features a mural of his renowned victory at the Battle of Kadesh, where his forces triumphed over his foes. 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 returned to your Aswan hotel in your private air-conditioned vehicle.
Please note: If your hotel is located on Soheil Island, Hisa Island, or any Nubian hostel, an additional fee will apply.

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).

Great! Highly recommend! - Zakarya was great! We had him for 4 days between Luxor and Aswan. He spoke very good English and knew of the great local restaurants for lunch each day. We enjoyed our time with him the more we were together and he was very knowledgeable on the sites we visited! Would highly recommend.

Abu-Simbel & Remses II - Abu-Simbel is a great site to visit to understand Remses 2 of Dynasty 19. It has two fantastic temples, one for himself and the other, his beloved wife Nefertari.
