Amazing trip to Egypt The agency actually loved it! I made a short but significant trip planned my trip and booking the internal flights, they were very punctual. The established schedule was fulfilled from day one, I definitely recommend them especially if you travel alone! My dream was always to take a picture on a camel in front of the pyramids and when I went they helped me take this service inside the Giza complex, an unforgettable moment! In addition, since I contacted them they have been watching my doubts and concerns. Thank you!!

Travel joy knows how to make dreams come true Egypt is a wonder, it has everything! And having an agency that supports and cares for you in every place you visit is invaluable.From the beginning Omar provided us with personalized attention, understood what we wanted to see and proposed an itinerary with activities that left us impressed with the beauty of his country. Every driver, Egyptologist and guide who touched us throughout our 16-day journey showed impeccable service, kindness, responsibility and a lot of knowledge. The temples, Siwa, the desert, Marsa Matrouh, Alexandria and Cairo left us wanting to return.
