The trip of a lifetime with Travel joy! Can’t say this enough: AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My wife and I were in Cairo for 3 days with a few friends on the way to a wedding in Hurghada and we booked all our Cairo experiences with Travel Joy. They arranged for hotel/airport transfer, all tours and were incredible helpful. Absolutely made our trip incredible. Special shout out to Emily who was very patient and helpful helping me design our trip, Michael the best tour guide there can be (really funny too), and Kero who was a life saver. Could not ask for a more dedicated and committed group of professionals. We felt very safe and supported.

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.

This provides a lovely introduction to Egyptian culture while taking in views of the city at night.

Giza Plateau: Pyramids and Sphinx
The next morning takes visitors to Giza plateau to explore the iconic pyramids and Sphinx. Highlights include stepping inside the Great Pyramid, marvelling at its precise construction. Nearby is the enigmatic Sphinx, cut from natural rock and today still gazing towards the desert horizon. Experiencing these fabled structures up close helps guests connect to ancient times.

Memphis and Saqqara: Tombs and Temples
Next on the itinerary is a trip to Memphis, one of Egypt’s first capitals. Highlights are the alabaster statues including one depicting Ramses II. Nearby at Saqqara, visitors see the Step Pyramid complex, the oldest surviving stone construction and archaeological marvel of Imhotep’s genius.

On day three, tours head to Mediterranean coast city of Alexandria. Ruins explored include the Catacombs containing Roman mummies, Pompey’s famous column and Qaitbay Citadel built during the 15th century Mamluk era. The day ends at the new Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern library honouring the fabled original.
