Amazing 2 Days in Cairo & Giza with Karim and Mito! I had an incredible experience exploring Cairo and Giza with Karim and Mito from Travel Joy Egypt Tours. From the moment I arrived at the airport communication was smooth and I felt completely looked after the whole time.Over two days, we visited the Pyramids of Giza, Memphis, Saqqara, and the Mohammed Ali Mosque, along with two museums. Karim was super friendly, easy to talk to, and incredibly knowledgeable about all the places we went. He and Mito shared so many interesting facts and stories that really brought Egypt’s history to life. You can feel the passion they have for their country’s long history. Everything was well organised, relaxed, and fun. They were flexible with the plans when I requested a change. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’d definitely recommend Travel Joy Egypt Tours (both Karim and Mito) to anyone visiting Egypt.
