**5-Star Review for Youssef Al Amin** Youssef Al Amin did an outstanding job organising our Abu Simbel trip from Aswan. From the initial arrangements through to the transfers and tour logistics, everything was handled efficiently and professionally. He was extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and responsive, making the whole process seamless and stress-free. His excellent organisation meant that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy our visit without any concerns. Youssef was also friendly and helpful throughout, and it was clear that he takes great pride in ensuring his clients have a positive experience. I would highly recommend Youssef to anyone looking for a reliable and professional tour organiser in Egypt.

Abu Simbel Temple which its main attraction is the great sun temple of RamsesII and the temple of queen Nefertari. Both temples were discovered in 1813 it was almost completely covered with sand. Then both temples were moved in 1960 by the help of Egyptian government and UNESCO to avoid the rising water of the Nile. Ramses II built the temple mostly to honour himself as inside there is a mural depicting his famous victory at Kadesh battle where his army defeated his enemies. On the north of Ramses temple, the Nefertari Temple which was built by Ramses II to his favourite wife Queen Nefertari among other 200 wives and concubines.

I took a private tour to Abu Simbel on October 22 for the sun alignment, and the entire trip was tailored to my schedule. The vehicle was very comfortable, and thanks to my guide, Amid, and the excellent driving of our driver, we arrived early enough to witness this incredible phenomenon without having to wait long.
The Best Tour Guide We Had in Egypt! During our 10-day trip to Egypt, we joined several tours, but I can genuinely say that Mr. Hamid was the only guide I was extremely happy with! He took us to the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and Philae Temple in Aswan. He is such a kind, pleasant, and knowledgeable person. He explained everything so well and made the experience both interesting and enjoyable. What really stood out to me was not just his knowledge of Egyptian history, but also his personality and the way he treated us. He made us feel comfortable throughout the tour, and we truly enjoyed our time with him. After 10 days of traveling around Egypt, meeting different guides and joining different tours, Mr. Hamid was definitely a standout. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Aswan. Thank you, Mr. Hamid, for such a wonderful experience!
We did multiple tours with the company. All coordinated by them. Very well planned and executed. Great guides and good vehicles. Guides were very knowledgeable and informative. Drivers were efficient and quick. We had two guides and many drivers over the week we were there. Two main guides Mervat and Taib. Both were excellent.
I had a wonderful experience traveling to Aswan and Abu Simbel, the 3 days we were in Aswan, the tour coordinator (Joseph) was always available for anything we needed and answered friendly to all our requests. Our drivers (Muhammad and Memboeuh) were always on time and super reliable. Our tour guide (Eslam) was very educated about Egyptian history and explained everything with details and visuals, he sometimes drew on the sand to help us visualize what we he was saying and used pictures. I really encourage others travelers to consider Sun Pyramid Tours for their next trip!
Hany is an excellent guide in Abu Simbel. He provided detailed and engaging explanations of Abu Simbel’s history and showed us great photo spots. Thanks to him, my friends and I made wonderful memories. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Abu Simbel!
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!
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.
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!
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!!!!
It was an incredible experience. We highly recommend it. We visited a lote of temples and the cruiser, is the best boat we have ever been to.
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 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.
The shuttle and the boat to Nubia Village were all private and very comfortable. Thanks to the fluent guide, I was able to thoroughly enjoy the ruins. If you come to Egypt again, I would like to ask this tour company.
We are traveling from 1.5 - 14.5 in Egypt with sun Pyramides tour. It all worked without any problems! We have always been picked up on time and are always in good company! The drivers and tour guide are always very helpful. At this point, a very big praise to Mohamed Elkhedway. He speaks good German and explains everything so that you understand it. He is very helpful and helpful! Also the various hotels and restaurants were well chosen! Mohamed also helped us with the tipping, which is very convenient as we did not know how much is normal in some cases.
Really interesting and well organized. Great flexibility and willingness of Mahitab, our agent, to meet requests and changes, often even during the trip. The guide, Ahmed, who speaks fluent Italian, extremely kind, competent and helpful.
Very good experience with the guide Youssef, very good explanations in a perfect Spanish, is a perfect person for this job, highly recommended, a nice excursion to remember all your life.
We spent a great day visiting the temple of Abu Simbel. Thanks to Arwa for the top organization, thanks to Ahmed for the explanations in French (we learned a lot of stuff) and thanks to our driver, Ziad, for this very pleasant ride! We recommend the experience!!!
...getting to Abu Simbel was challenging, but it was really worth it... the guide was kind, polite and professional... he conveyed all the passion for his land... super recommended!
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).
We contract with Sun Pyramids Tours the 3 day trips: to Abu Simbel, Giza Pyramids, Dashur, Memphis and Saqqara and Full Day Cairo, an Enterprise excellent in terms of punctuality, vehicles, flexibility and customer adaptation and with exceptional guides. Agent Hagar pending at all times, before, during and after the trip, even refunded us the amount of a lunch that we had hired in principle and that we did not want afterwards. Thank you very much Hagar for your patience, advice, kindness and for everything. All excursions have exceeded our expectations. They are very worth doing in private, making the most of the time and dedicating it to what interests you most, which as a group is not possible. In Abu Simbel we were picked up at 5:30am, according to our request, in the super punctual boat, the great driver, good vehicle, you take less than with the bus, so you take better advantage of the day. Well the guide, thank you very much Ahmed from Aswan, we had an unforgettable day, a pleasure to have met you. Just as great excursions to the Pyramids and Cairo. A magnificent vehicle, with an excellent driver, Mohamed Iman thank you!, totally at our disposal. The unbeatable guide, Sherif Attia, in addition to his magnificent explanations, treated us like family, we felt cared for and better taken care of than ever. He swerved to put us through another two unforgettable days. We owe you Sherif, thank you very much for your professionalism and friendship.
