Funduk al Shams (Hotel of the Sun)
Visit us in Egypt
In the Nile Valley near Edfu, the guesthouse "FUNDUK AL SHAMS" is picturesquely situated between sugarcane fields and palm trees, about a two-kilometer walk from the Nile. A wonderful place for anyone who wants to experience the real Egypt.
“FUNDUK AL SHAMS” (Hotel of the Sun) – run by Ulrike Grimm and Mohamed Saad – impresses with its warm hospitality and its quiet location.
Experience pure Egypt!
We are happy to organize travel arrangements and an excursion program for individual tourists!
The eco-friendly construction of the house, the very personal service provided to guests, and the excellent cuisine—partly Egyptian, partly Austrian—with many homemade products, will make your stay a special experience!
The house was designed by Ulrike Grimm (Austria) together with the Austrian architect Dr. Helmut Seidl. It was built in the Egyptian-Nubian style and is surrounded by a large garden with flowers, vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, and palm trees. The buildings are all constructed using organic methods.
When designing the house and garden, the aspects of geomancy and feng shui were largely taken into account.
We offer you peace and quiet.
Hearing silence again is a difficult exercise for many people.
Silence is a basic human need—and it has become a true luxury. We must look within ourselves and seek it. Here with us, you can take the time to find peace and quiet.
Maybe you need some time off to recover.
Or you want to work on a book, a screenplay, or your doctoral thesis and are looking for the peace and quiet you need to do so.
Or you want to escape the winter in Europe and enjoy the warmth of Egypt.
With us, you will receive comprehensive support and can devote yourself entirely to your personal topic and your individual needs.
