My Amazing stay in Egypt I arranged with this travel agency tours in Cairo and Luxor. They were extremely friendly and helpful. All transportation was on time and great tour guys. Drivers were so attentive and were always on time. I also booked my nights in Cairo in their Australian Hostel and staff was so friendly and welcoming. Rooms were cleaned and the hostel was in a great central location in Cairo downtown.

Incredible experience The tour was really good. Our tour guide, Heshan, was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole tour, very professional and very keen on teaching us whatever we wanted to learn about. We did a Pyrammids and Sakkara necropolis day tour and we asked for a few extra sites to visit which normally are outside of the program (pyramids of Dahshur) and the agency had no problem in adapting the program so that we could explore what we wanted. Amazing experience and recommend it to everyone.

Excellent experience with Travel Joy Egypt Tour OMG! It couldn't be better! Our trip was only 3 days in Cairo and Luxor. Omar's team really knows what he is doing, they coordinated everything perfectly, guide in Spanish, transfers, Nile cruise, we really enjoyed the food, they took us to really good places. We didn't have to worry about anything just getting there. We really enjoyed our stay in Egypt, the guides are really good, they explain everything wonderfully in Spanish and took us to the places we were interested in! They took spectacular photos of us and always on the lookout for everything from picking us up at the airport to returning us there! If you want to live an experience without worries in this beautiful country, I really recommend them very much! Thank you for everything, I'm sure we'll be back with you!

Memorable multi-city tour of Egypt Our group of 13 had a memorable multi-city tour of Egypt thanks to Travel Joy and guide Mostafa. Over 6 months of planning ensured smooth sailing from start to finish. Comfortable transit aboard a spacious Toyota Coaster added enjoyment between destinations.We were delighted by most aspects of the 3-night deluxe Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, taking in iconic sights along the river. A road trip to Abu Simbel and Alexandria broadened cultural horizons outside Cairo as well.Our dedicated guide Mostafa and his cheerful team, including Omar and Kiro, anticipated every need with excellent hospitality. Relying on their local expertise enhanced appreciation for Egypt's rich history.While optional excursions hold value exploring off-itinerary, do thorough research beforehand. Knowing typical pricing prevents potential mismatches in expectations. When time permits, leisurely browsing artisan workshops and perfumeries can also prove rewarding after confirmed interest and minor negotiation.Overall, Travel Joy Egypt delivered wonderful memories through meticulous coordination. I'm grateful for their passion in sharing this magnificent land and cultures with visitors from around the world.

More About

Egypt 8 Days Tour

Discovering Giza’s Royal Treasures

The full-day exploration of Giza begins at the threshold of one of the ancient world’s greatest wonders – the towering Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus. Towering over 150 feet tall, these monumental structures were erected as monuments to the pharaohs’ power and Egyptian ingenuity. Guests marvel at their sheer scale and perfection of form before encountering the enigmatic Great Sphinx, with its lion’s body and pharaoh’s head, sitting as sentinel since ancient times. Nearby lies the Valley Temple where pharaoh worshippers made offerings. Continuing to Saqqara, the fascinating Step Pyramidcomplex reveals early advances in funerary architecture. Memphis Museum artifactsincluding carvings and the colossal statue of Ramses II offer a glimpse into royal life.

Aswan’s Storied Landmarks Along the Nile

Aswan marks the first southern destination, introduced through its landmarks harnessing the Nile’s might. The colossal High Dam came as both an engineering triumph enabling agricultural growth, yet brought loss through displaced monuments like Abu Simbel. Nearby, the elegant island Temple of Philae maintains its beauty despite relocation, with carved columns and statues honoring Isis and Hathor. Another monumental feat is witnessed at the Unfinished Obelisk, showcasing the skills of Egyptian stonemasons. Before boarding the luxury cruise, guests gain insight into Aswan’s significance at the crossroads of empires.

Paying Homage to Kings at Abu Simbel

Rising before dawn, travelers journey to the granite Temples of Abu Simbel, truly among Egypt’s most iconic monuments. Under the light of the rising sun, Ramses II and Nefertari receive living sacrifices of garlands in their massive facades. Within, colossal statues sit enthroned as eternal guardians overlooking the shrines. The precision stonecutting defies belief even with modern tools. Considered ancient Egypt’s most perfect temple, this divine location became a symbol of national pride when miraculously rescued from flooding. Returning with the sun now high, visitors comprehend why Abu Simbel was thus vital to projecting the pharaoh’s power and longevity through the ages.

Cruising in Luxury between Mighty River Temples

After Aswan’s explore, guests board a five-star cruise vessel embarking on a journey of discovery down the legendary Nile. Each passing landscape hides more mysteries as the ship calls at major riverine temples. Kom Ombo is unique due to its symmetry, with two separate halls of worship for the crocodile god Sobek and sky deity Haroeris. Then majestic columns of Ptolemaic-era Edfu Temple seem to extend endlessly skyward. On board, gourmet dining and comfortable cabins allow total relaxation between destinations. Through this curated blend of notable landmarks and leisurely river travel, travelers gain unique vistas and perspectives on ancient Egyptian kingship along the storied banks of their life-giving river.

Discovering Abu Simbel at Dawn

The early morning drive to Abu Simbel offers a truly incredible experience. As the first light touches the iconic twin temples cut into the mountainside, visitors can appreciate their grand scale and intricate carvings up close. Guides share the history behind Ramses II’s construction of the temples as a show of imperial strength and tribute to himself and his beloved wife Nefertari. Watching Abu Simbel emerge from the shadows at sunrise is profoundly moving and helps visitors begin to understand Egypt’s rich past.

Cruising in Luxury between Temples

After exploring Aswan’s landmarks, it’s time to unwind on a luxurious cruise. Guests are treated to comfortable cabins and gourmet cuisine as the ship gently travels down the Nile. Each morning brings a new destination, with guided tours of iconic river temples included. The massive structures at Kom Ombo and Edfu demonstrate both the scale of ancient achievements and artistic mastery through their towering columns and carved reliefs. Taking time to admire these sights while cruising allows a more relaxed experience compared to overland travel.

Uncovering history in Luxor

Disembarking the cruise in Luxor, guests delve into the city’s ancient treasures such as the Valley of the Kings burial site and Temple of Hatshepsut. Expert guides share insights into tomb architecture and religious symbolism that come alive through both impressive artworks and translated hieroglyphs. At Karnak, the immense Hypostyle Hall leaves visitors in awe of what was achieved millennia ago without modern machinery. To fully experience Luxor is to walk in the footsteps of pharaohs and gain a deeper understanding of how ancient Egyptians lived and honored their gods.

Discovering Cairo’s Varied Landmarks

The tour wraps up with a whirlwind sightseeing day in Cairo. From medieval Citadel views to treasures of the Egyptian Museum, this bustling modern city holds countless remnants of the past. Highlights include the hanging church and cave where Christian tradition says the Holy Family took refuge. Browsing the bazaars of Khan el-Khalili is a sensory experience, taking in scents of spices as traders play up their wares. After a week immersed in ancient monuments, this tour offers a fitting glimpse into Egypt’s diverse present before travelers depart with a wealth of new cultural understandings.

Uncover the marvels of Egypt on our captivating 8-Day Tour Package.
