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.

Private Day Tour To Abu Simbel From Aswan

Journey to Ancient Egypt’s Majesty at Dawn
Tucked safely within your cozy hotel room, you reluctantly rise from slumber as darkness still blankets Aswan. A new day is dawning that promises a extraordinary adventure etched forever in your memory. Graciously, our representative appears promptly to guide you toward the waiting vehicle below under the veil of night. As fellow travelers board with anticipation, excited whispers fill the air in hushed tones, none wanting to disturb the tranquil surroundings. Comfortably seated while savoring hot beverages and snacks provided, the journey begins heading north as the inky sky slowly lightens with the approaching sunrise.

Arrival at Abu Simbel in Roses’ Glow
Approaching the Temple site as dawn breaks, the faintest light illuminates majestic silhouettes looming ahead against pearly rose-hued skies. Bringing the vehicle to a gentle stop, our guide bids you all to disembark quietly and gaze upon the awe-inspiring sight that unfolds before eager eyes. Monumental seated statues of Ramesses II guard the entrance wearing enigmatic smiles, now subtly revealed in warm ochre tones. Camera shutters busy capturing ephemeral fleeting moments while whispers of wonder escape lips, none capable of looking away from such magnificence unveiled at nature’s splendid artistic hand.

Majestic Visions of Pharaoh’s Glory
Upon stepping inside the hypostyle hall housing towering sculpted figures, voices hush to a reverent whisper. Multi-toned rays of the rising sun play a brilliant dance upon the ornate carvings dominating impossibly high columns and ceilings glorifying the pharaoh and his lineage. Our guide’s eloquent Arabic and English words paint a vivid picture of the esoteric symbolism and intricate details within each scene for gathered guests in hushed attentiveness, further amplifying the mystic essence of this sacred space. None dare disrupt the serenity embracing all fortunate enough to witness Abu Simbel in complete solitude as a privileged few.

Queen Nefertari’s Gracious Majesty
Emerging from within the main sanctuary filled with sun god Ra’s mystical presence, a smaller temple adjacent invites discreet exploration with far fewer steps. Statues of the devoted royal couple watching over the entrance set an enchanting tone within. Upon silently crossing the threshold, one can envision Queen Nefertari and doting Ramesses II strolling arm in arm amid beautifully preserved scenes adorning the walls in vivid frescos capturing their idyllic lives together . Our guide shares insights of her status as Great Royal Wife, leaving guests awe-struck by this beloved ruler’s grace and power as Egypt’s most celebrated Queen.

Lingering in an Age of Magic
Far too soon, the hour arrives for your private visit to gently come to an end. Camera storage cards filled to bursting testify to an unforgettable experience few will ever know. Whispered conversations continue reflecting on absorbing myths and legends that shaped a glorious history that still stands strong today. Boarding the vehicle signaling departure with mixed emotions arise – joy at being part of such rare moments equally tempered by reluctance to leave this mystical haven inspired by splendid antiquities. The journey back to Aswan passes pleasantly reviewing lively discussions fuelled by wonder and enchantment certain to linger within hearts and memories for lifetimes to come.

Everlasting Impressions of Majesty Eternal
Alighting once more upon the familiar streets of Aswan brings a sense of surrealness, as if part of a vivid dream from which one is reluctant to awaken. Yet cameras hold fast proof of privileged private access to antiquity’s splendours at their most atmospheric and serene. Exchanging heartfelt farewells with newfound friends bonded through shared marvel over abundant hospitality, you retire fulfilled yet pensive, scenes playing ceaselessly within your mind’s eye. Abu Simbel now lives vividly in your soul, the magic of its mysteries gifting insight into that glittering age of antiquity along the mighty Nile that continues to enchant and inspire all those touched by its glory. Its grandeur will remain with you always, indelibly etched within your memory and heart.
