Sua aventura egípcia se inicia no momento em que seu guia amigável e profissional o cumprimenta no seu hotel no Cairo. Prepare-se, pois sua odisseia de 13 dias começa com uma jornada até as icônicas Grandes Pirâmides de Gizé, cujas silhuetas se elevam dramaticamente contra o céu do deserto.

Hoje, você viaja através do tempo! Alexandria, outrora a deslumbrante coroa do Egito Greco-Romano, chama, pronta para desdobrar seus segredos antigos e seu encanto atemporal. Prepare-se para seguir os passos de faraós e filósofos enquanto seu tour de 13 dias em Luxor com o eclipse continua.
Seu tour inclui os famosos Catacumbas Romanas de Kom El Shoqafa. As catacumbas são grandes túmulos egípcios e cemitérios reais com influências ptolemaicas e romanas. As catacumbas de Kom El-Shoqafa são um dos maiores locais de sepultamento romanos não apenas em Alexandria, mas no Egito. Elas começaram como um túmulo privado para uma família rica e depois se tornaram um cemitério público. As catacumbas abrigam mais de 300 túmulos.
Das catacumbas para a Coluna de Pompeu. Muitos historiadores antigos não nos deram mais detalhes sobre a "Coluna de Pompeu", mas sobre os edifícios que ficavam próximos e que agora desapareceram. A colina sobre a qual a coluna está erguida estava coberta de templos e casas muito antes da era romana. Era o local da Cidadela de Rhakotis. Um templo dedicado a Osíris-Serápis foi construído na montanha.
Em seguida, siga para a Cidadela de Qaitbay. A Cidadela de Qaitbay em Alexandria é uma das fortificações mais importantes do Egito. Foi construída pelo Sultão Al-Ashraf Qaitbay para defender o Egito dos Otomanos/Turcos.
Termine seu tour em Alexandria visitando a Biblioteca de Alexandria por fora. Desfrute do seu almoço em um restaurante local e depois retorne a Cairo.

Desfrute de um café da manhã tranquilo em seu hotel e depois mergulhe na vibrante tapeçaria do Cairo. Primeiro, prepare-se para ser fascinado pelos tesouros abrigados no Museu Egípcio. Caminhe entre múmias douradas, seus olhos eternamente vigilantes. Deixe seu guia egiptólogo, um decodificador moderno dos hieróglifos, desvendar os mistérios do túmulo de Tutancâmon e o fascínio lendário de Cleópatra.
Em seguida, suba até a Cidadela de Saladino, uma fortaleza gravada contra o céu. Suas muralhas sussurrando contos de batalhas valentes e intrigas sussurradas. Fique onde sultões uma vez presidiram. Contemple a vista panorâmica do Cairo espalhado abaixo, um mosaico de ruas movimentadas e minaretes antigos.
Desfrute de um almoço delicioso em um restaurante local e depois mergulhe no caos vibrante do Bazar Khan El-Khalili. Deixe o aroma fragrante das especiarias seduzir seus sentidos. Negocie por tesouros em meio a um labirinto de barracas. Perca-se no caleidoscópio de cores e texturas. Este mercado agitado não é apenas um refúgio para lembranças. É um testamento vivo ao espírito duradouro do Cairo, onde história e comércio se entrelaçam em uma dança cativante.
Transfira para o Aeroporto do Cairo para pegar seu voo para Luxor. Enquanto o avião sobrevoa as areias douradas, antecipe o momento em que o sol se renderá ao abraço da lua no eclipse solar mais longo do século.
2 de agosto de 2027
Desfrute de um café da manhã tranquilo em seu hotel, saboreando a antecipação do espetáculo celestial do dia, o Eclipse Solar de 2027. Em breve, um transporte estará pronto para levá-lo ao Templo de Karnak. Um monumento tão antigo que suas pedras ecoam sussurros dos faraós.
Aqui, entre os imponentes salões hipostilos e os colossais pilones dedicados ao deus sol Amun-Ra. Prepare-se para testemunhar uma maravilha natural que transcende até mesmo a grandiosidade dessas antigas paredes. À medida que a lua eclipsa suavemente o sol, o mundo ao seu redor se transformará em uma deslumbrante tela de tons crepusculares. Estrelas aparecerão no azul diurno, e a coroa, uma fascinante coroa de fogo, enquadrará a silhueta da lua.
Por seis minutos e vinte e três segundos, o tempo parecerá parar enquanto você se envolve neste impressionante balé celestial. Respire o profundo silêncio, sinta a conexão cósmica lavar sobre você e grave esta memória em sua alma. Uma experiência única que redefinirá para sempre o significado de maravilha.
Emergindo do brilho etéreo do eclipse, sua jornada continua até o majestoso Templo de Luxor, outro marco arquitetônico banhado pela luz dourada do sol da tarde em Luxor. Aqui, seu guia egiptólogo revelará as fascinantes histórias entalhadas em hieróglifos nas paredes do templo, contos de faraós e deuses, vitórias e celebrações.
Embarque em um cruzeiro de 4 noites pelo Nilo de Luxor a Aswan.
3 de agosto de 2027
Desfrute de um café da manhã tranquilo em seu cruzeiro, depois prepare-se para explorar a margem oeste de Luxor. Primeiro, adentre o Vale dos Reis, um reino onde faraós repousam em túmulos dourados, seus legados gravados em hieróglifos nas paredes eternas. Seu guia egiptólogo, um decodificador moderno desses sonhos celestiais. Eles desvendarão as histórias desses soberanos há muito desaparecidos, seus triunfos e ambições imortalizados no abraço do Vale.
Em seguida, suba pelas terraços do Templo de Hatshepsut, uma sinfonia arquitetônica deslumbrante esculpida nas falésias. Sinta o sol do deserto aquecer sua pele enquanto você fica onde a "Faraó Mulher" uma vez desafiou convenções, governando com sabedoria e graça. Contemple as vistas panorâmicas que se desdobravam diante dela, e deixe que os sussurros de seu reinado o transportem através dos milênios.
Ao meio-dia, busque refúgio na sombra dos Colossos de Memnon, sentinelas colossais que guardam a antiga Tebas. Retorne ao seu cruzeiro pelo Nilo para navegar até Edfu passando pela comporta de Esna. Pernoite em Edfu.
Tour opcional: Passeio de Balão de Ar Quente ao Nascer do Sol sobre Luxor.
4 de agosto de 2027
Desperte para um delicioso café da manhã a bordo e depois embarque em um encantador passeio de carruagem puxada por cavalos pelas ruas ensolaradas até o Templo de Hórus em Edfu. Uma maravilha da era greco-romana e o templo melhor preservado do Egito. Contemple seus pilones imponentes, relevos intricados e mergulhe nos mistérios de Hórus, o deus falcão.
Retorne de carruagem ao seu cruzeiro pelo Nilo para navegar rumo a Kom Ombo. Prepare-se para ser enfeitiçado por um templo duplo único dedicado tanto a Sobek, o temível deus crocodilo, quanto a Hórus, o falcão celestial. Desvende suas histórias divinas nas paredes do templo e aprofunde-se na lenda de Sobek no cativante Museu do Crocodilo nas proximidades.
À medida que o sol mergulha baixo, lançando longas sombras sobre as paisagens antigas, nosso navio desliza sem esforço em direção a Aswan. A expectativa aumenta pelas maravilhas que aguardam nesta vibrante cidade do sul.
5 de agosto de 2027
Prepare-se para uma jornada impressionante no tempo enquanto embarcamos em uma scenic drive de 3,5 horas pelo deserto ensolarado. Seu destino são os lendários Templos de Abu Simbel, monumentos colossais esculpidos diretamente nas falésias de arenito.
Imagine estátuas imponentes do Faraó Ramsés II saudando você, com expressões que parecem inalteradas por milênios. Entre no templo e seja transportado para uma era passada, onde hieróglifos intricados sussurram contos de deuses e faraós. Mergulhe nos salões cavernosos e frescos, adornados com relevos vibrantes que retratam batalhas épicas e oferendas divinas.
Esta não é apenas uma visita a um templo; é uma jornada pela história, uma chance de estar onde governantes poderosos uma vez caminharam. Prepare-se para ser impressionado pela escala e pela arte dessas maravilhas arquitetônicas, testemunhos da ambição humana e do gênio da engenharia.
Após absorver a magia de Abu Simbel, vamos retornar ao seu confortável navio de cruzeiro, levando consigo memórias que serão eternamente gravadas em sua mente.
Tour opcional: Tour pela Vila Núbia.
6 de agosto de 2027
Comece o dia com um delicioso café da manhã e prepare-se para uma aventura em Aswan. Sua primeira parada será na colossal Alta Barragem, uma maravilha moderna que domou as enchentes do Nilo e trouxe luz ao Egito. Contemple sua escala impressionante, imaginando a proeza de engenharia que remodelou a paisagem.
Em seguida, explore a engenhosidade antiga no Obelisco Inacabado. Um gigantesco remanescente de granito congelado no tempo. Imagine artesãos habilidosos esculpindo este monólito, destinado a ser um monumento à eternidade, apenas para ser abandonado por razões perdidas na história.
Sua jornada continua com um pitoresco passeio de barco a motor pelo brilhante Nilo. Seu destino é o deslumbrante Templo de Philae, uma joia da era Ptolomaica. Ameaçado originalmente pelas águas em elevação da Alta Barragem, a UNESCO heroicamente o relocou para terrenos mais altos. Admire seus entalhes intricados e imagine os sussurros dos faraós ecoando por seus corredores.

I was visiting Hurghada and was delighted to find out it was possible to see the sights of Luxor while I was there. A friend of mine recommended this tour and I was so happy he did. The driver Gabor and the tour guide Essam took good care of me, showed up on time, and answered all my questions.
In particular, the company sent Gabor because of his English proficiency, which meant he drove from Luxor to Hurghada, picked me up, drove me to Luxor, drove me around all day, drove me back to Hurghada, and then drove back to Luxor! Four four-hour trips in one day! The ride included drinks and bathroom stops and Gabor provided me with Egyptian money to go to the bathroom, because I hadn't had a chance to get any yet.
Essam did a great job recommending what I should do and answering my many questions, and he was always willing for me to stop to take photos, including finding a way for an unscheduled stop for Nile photos.
Lunch was also very good and went beyond the usual felafel-and-shawarma.
It is absolutely worth doing this as a private tour rather than being herded around in a group.

We took a ride in the village of Slavia, but I couldn't find an option to review this activity
Because it is temporary so I found this company on the Internet, customer service staff is good, but the only US is not enough is that he can only brush cards online can not pay cash, hope to have the option of paying cash
We had a great afternoon
Leading our guide Ahmed people are good, we because of the previous trip delayed time, let him wait for us a while on the boat, up to the boat to discover the entire boat only us, he also gave us water and drinks, we saw the sunset on the boat to take pictures very carefully, the road Ahmed like we told the surrounding view, some understand some not understand, but this is the charm of travel
Finally arrived at the place where Ahmed was very good to support us in the upper edge, the youth who carried the rope was also reassured to give us, but there was no stubborn edge in the back of the supervision, on the road we would run for a while and walk very self-sufficient, in his body we were afraid and excited, and finally walked into the village of slavery, we went to eat slavery bread with black sugar and adult food, that servant and our soy milk taste super like soy milk, also drank black tea, because Arab coffee is interested so we also tried, the taste is very special. Finally we went to the school in Slavia for a class, really a classroom, we quickly learned some Arabic and Slavic, really too hard, but very happy, if not to rush back and gather, really want to slow down the whole village
-webp-webp.webp)
I participated in Slavia village riding, temporarily found this company, customer service staff is good, the United States is not able to pay with cash, online payment has additional charges to generate scum
The tour guide Ahmed service is good, he took us on a boat to the village, and riding the hill, and slowly walked in the village road, let us both scared and excited, to the village Ahmed brought us to enjoy the local special bread with black honey and old-fashioned, eat as well as soy milk 😁, and also drank black tea, also let us try Arabic spice coffee, the whole shop is very beautiful, then we went to Slavic school to learn Arabic and Slavic language, really very difficult but fresh, but unfortunately to rush back to the collection otherwise really like a lot more, I highly recommend Slavic Arabic riding

We wanted to book an Aswan tour on the day our Nile cruise allowed free for a trip. Most of the other companies seemed to only offer trips that had already been included in our cruise package. So I found this company and booked the "Nobles Tombs, Famine Stela and Elephantine Island" tour online, and prepaid by credit card.
We were picked up from our cruise boat from the Aswan dock and taken to a motorboat. Our guide Mustafa took us first to The Nobles Tombs, they were very different to VoK type tombs. They showed scenes of more ordinary life and were tombs of high officials rather than pharaohs. We then sailed to Sehel Island to see the rock inscriptions and the famous Famine Stela. From there we sailed back to Elephantine Island, we had a great view of the Old Cataract Hotel from the river, to tour the Temple of Satet and the Temple of Khnum. We also saw two of the rivers Nilometers.
Overall it was a fabulous tour to the varied sites via a motorboat river trip. Our guide Mustafa was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. It was easy to arrange and Ahmed contacted us via WhatsApp to reconfirm details when our boat arrived in Aswan.
Highly recommended, great value for money.

We organized our 5-days private program for Dendarah, Luxor and Giza-Cairo with Happy Egypt Travel Services.
The program included road transfer from Hurghada to Luxor and visit to Denderah, Karnak and Luxor temples, Valley of Kings and Valley of Queens, then Giza complex, GEM and the Old Cairo.
Communication and planning with Mr. Ahmed el Sayed went extremely well. He was very quick in answering, flexible to the changes we needed to make to our trip and gave us excellent advice for optimizing our rather limited time in Egypt.
We got 2 excellent transport services (one to and in Luxor and another one in Cairo-Giza) with very good air-conditioned vans, each manned by excellent tour leaders and outstanding drivers.
Our tours to the historic and cultural objectives selected for our visit were assisted by highly professional egyptology historians.
Due to this, we returned from Egypt with an absolutely amazing, memorable vacation, rich in content and -not least- strong desire to return one day and explore more this cradle of the civilization which Egypt is.
Thank you, Happy Egypt for becoming part of these memories!

Happy Egypt organised for our family (parents and children aged 16-21) a made-to-measure tour of Egypt.
We started after a day break on the red sea and were leaving from Cairo. Happy Egypt organised everything for us: schedule, transfers, hotels, visits, entries, … as well as a super friendly very knowledge and professional guide whose role in making our holiday amazing was undeniable.
The tour took into account our desire to have family time, but also see the sites when they would be quieter, to have explanations during the visits yet free time to also look at our own pace, and overall, all were met.
Boat was very small (as per our wishes) with a crew that could not have done more for us. Water always available in taxi, boat, etc. No hassle from anyone, just pure pleasure.
If we were to return, there is nothing we would change and we will recommend this company to any of our friends who plan such a holiday: big thank you from all of us.
Thank you Ahmed, thank you Mostafa.

An unforgettable cruise along the Nile discovering ancient Egypt and much more
We had the pleasure of going on the Dababiya tour for 4 days. Meticulously organised, the tour took us to all the key ancient sites from Aswan to Luxor and every historical spot we visited was more breathtaking than the last. The boat we stayed on was beautiful and clean, and the friendly crew ensured we were comfortable and at ease from the minute we arrived. The onboard chefs provided us with the best meals along the journey, and were so fun to be around.
Our tour guide Essam was kinder and more knowledgeable than we could have hoped for. His Egyptology expertise was vast and his passion for the subject was engaging, allowing us to learn so much from the wonderful history all around us. He was so personable and friendly, and getting to spend time with him, learning about the history and also the local Egyptian culture and customs was incredible. Everywhere we went with Essam we felt truly comfortable and taken care of.
A standout on our trip was the village tour. Welcomed by our local guide Esma, we stopped at a quiet and beautiful village where we were shown the seasonal crops and learned about the local history. Esma graciously welcomed us into her home where we met her wonderful family, enjoyed delicious homemade beverages and got to interact with their animals. Later, a delicious barbecue was preprared for us by the crew on a little patio at the edge of the village, and we got to enjoy some live music and dance with the locals. An incredible day overall.
It was amazing to see that not only does the tour company provide a great service to tourists but also prides itself on fostering networks with local communities, from the quality of drivers and boat captains to the sourcing of ingredients for the food they serve. A truly one-of-a-kind experience for anyone looking to explore the wonders Egypt has to offer. Could not recommend this trip enough!

This was such a fun experience for my whole family. We were picked up early morning at 4:30 by the balloon company arranged by Ahmed our agency owner. What followed after that was a series of pickups and boat transfers on the Nile to go to the West Bank. The excitement was palpitating and we were in awe to see a collection of all hot air balloons getting ready to take off. It was an unforgettable experience to see the whole city and right at sunrise, the view was breathtaking. Am so glad we did this.

Best experience Ever
We went on the four day Nile-cruise on dahabiya boat. It was truly a magical experience. We saw almost every temple and sight along the way, with our great tourguide who knew the answer to everything you asked and had great patience with bad english of some of us. Plus, he is also very good at chess. The boat staff was very nice and professional, always ready to help (they saved me from angry donkey as well). The food was amazing. Im sure our cook must have won Masterchef Egypt. Whole boat was very clean and comfy with plenty space. This tour sure was an experience of a lifetime.

Best Experience!!! Go on this Dahabiyat cruise!!
OMG, I couldn't have asked for a better nile trip, 5/5, 100% would recommend. Mahmoud was so knowledgeable, not just about ancient egypt, but Egypt as a whole - religion, culture, norms anything you asked; he had an answer for. He was so friendly, patient, personable warmhearted, passionate and took care of us from the first moments to the last one, as a whole group, but individually as well, checking on us all the time. He is my favourite tour guide by far!! I was on the traditional boat, the Dahabiyat and because it was a small group, Mahmoud made it personable, stopping at places to swim in the nile, to visit sites not on the itinerary, to have dinner in a village with live music and dancing with locals and honestly, it was the first time i actually just relaxed, knowing that everything was taken care of. If you are planning a trip to Egypt, the Nile cruise, on an Dahabiyat is a must, and if you get Mahmoud then consider yourself LUCKY. loved this trip- a definite highlight for me on my travels. And the cruise crew was so welcoming and so fun to be cared under. Its WORTH IT, trust me!!! You won't regret it and the memories will last you a lifetime

Better than expected transfer to Luxor
We had a private transfer from Aswan to Luxor with Gaber, our driver.
He was on time at the hotel and was very kind and professional.
His car was very clean, he brought us drinks and treats for the journey and made everything possible for us to be comfortable during the trip.
He was very careful driving and also delivered us within schedule. Very good!!

The best itinerary at Luxor
Jan 2024 • Family
The trip booking went very smoothly, and the schedule accommodated our requests to the fullest. We were picked up at our hotel on time, and the driver was extremely courteous throughout the entire trip. The hot air balloon rides are designed with ample seating so everyone can fully enjoy the scenery. Not only do we enjoy the hot air balloon ride, but watching the balloon take off is an impressive experience. For our day trip from Luxor to Dendera, they asked us our preferred departure time and created an itinerary just for us. The driver was also extremely courteous on this trip. I used this company last year, and they always provide spacious, clean vehicles. Even for private trips, the cost is very reasonable. I will continue to use this company in the future.

The best of worry-free 10 days in Egypt as a solo female traveller
I know this came in a bit later than expected. I have so much to share but I think I will narrow down to the more important ones. Answering to which activity, should be more than 1 answer option because I’m gonna share it all! 😂
I was referred by a friend to Eid Moawed. One of the guides who helped me plan by bespoke private itinerary for 10 days in Egypt. And no I did not regret it! During my journey with Eid, I was told by other guides that I am lucky to have him as my guide and wallahi it’s true.
Throughout my trip in Egypt, I met different guides, airport assistance and drivers at different cities and they are all lovely! As a solo female traveller, I was well taken care of!
Here are shoutouts of people (support assistance, drivers and guides) who were involved and they were all amazing!
In Cairo,
Airport assistance: Walid made the first impression of my trip looked beautiful already.
Driver: Sayed Fathi drove a comfortable vehicle for just me who also drove me on my last day in Cairo.
Guide: Mohamed who is a very focused guide. Unfortunately it was a long flight for me I had requested to end the tour early. And no, there was nothing wrong with him.
In Giza & Alexandria
Driver: Very shy driver, Ahmed Shaaban again another comfortable ride just for 1 person
Guide: another Mohamed (aka Medo) brought me for my tour. Mohamed reminds me a lot of “Danny Devito” he is really hilarious! I couldn’t keep up with his energy! Thanks for accompanying me for lunch at Sobhy Kaber in Cairo and Branzino in Alexandria.
In Aswan,
Airport Assistance: I was also welcomed by another gentleman who I forgot his name at this time because I was slightly occupied with work. But he did helped me a lot with my luggage when I was engaged.
Driver: Ami Yousef (driver) he really reminds me of one of my uncle. He’s just sweet. He also drove me to Abu Simbel and I also requested to stop by at pharmacy to get some stuffs. He was really accommodating.
Guide: Ahmed, who has a cool, chill 😎 personality. After our trip to Philae temple Ahmed assisted me with my check in for my river cruise Le Fayan, thanks to Eid and Ahmed Refaey (owner of Happy tour) for arranging for me! The cruise was BEAUTIFUL! By the end of my tour, I requested for Ahmed to accompany me for a dinner outside, and he was such a gentleman who didn’t reject. He also brought me to a local market which was amazing!
Back in Aswan again and throughout my sailing journey to Luxor, this was when I finally met Eid! This one is a keeper. Eid was warm and friendly and he made me feel like home. He is very detailed with his sharing of the temples. He even brought books that depicts the differences of how it used to be and how is it today.
Hands down, he will ensure I will arrive early and before the crowd so that I can enjoy the tour. Not only that, as a guide, he takes amazing photos! I had one too many I had difficulties choosing which to post. By the end of the trip he made me felt like family! & yes he did accompany me for dinner too!! He introduced me to local cuisines. It was definitely a good cultural experience!
Driver: Gaber, I met him on my last day in Luxor and he drove me to Hurghada. He made the 4-hr ride felt really short! Not once I got bored in the car. Not only that, his car was equipped with treats and drinks! Such hospitality! Both also helped me picked up my luggage from the river cruise while I was enjoying the hot air balloon ride.
In Hurghada,
I was mainly on my own most of the time. However I did went to Orange Bay that was arranged by the team and met a photographer, Adel Al Dodge, who clicks beautiful photos.
Overall, Egypt was amazing thanks to the team that made it happen for me. Thanks to Eid Moawed and Ahmed Refaey for putting the itinerary for me and surprised me with the private ride to Hurghada. They were quick with response and were really accommodating. They are also able to work around your budget and recommend the best for you. And do consider yourself lucky if you get a combination of Eid and Gaber during your trip!

Three days in dahabiya on the Nile
Jan 2024 • Family
We made the trip aboard the Dahabiya for 3 days, visiting Aswan, the main temples on the way to Luxor and Luxor itself and the Valley of the Kings. All of this in a spectacular boat, just like the crew. The food was delicious and very varied on all occasions. Special mention to our guide Mahmoud, who was very attentive, explained to us in detail on each of the visits and was available to us at all times. An unforgettable trip.

A Nile dream in Dahabiya
Jan 2024 • Family
We booked a tour in Dahabiya from Aswan to Luxor. It was gorgeous. The boat was only for us. The crew, Mahmud the manager among them, was very obliging, the food was fantastic and the guide Mahmoud was an excellent archaeologist, very didactic and patient. We had a wonderful time with him, enjoying every moment. He selected the better places to see everything, he answered any question we did and always in good mood. I recommend this experience. Probably we will repeat with another part of the family.

Full day Luxor tour
Jan 2024 • Family
We were picked up at the hotel in a comfortable mini-van by our tour guide & Egyptologist Islam and the driver Khaled. Islam provided a lot of information about Egyptian history and took us to the West Bank to see the Valley of the Kings and on the East Bank the temples of Karnak & Luxor. The monuments themselves are majestic and we were in awe of what was built years ago. I liked that our agency provided a contract before our trip that explained all the things that would be covered and this made for a very smooth, stress free and enjoyable experience. Our family was in good hands and we learned a lot.

Memorable highlights of Giza and Cairo
Jan 2024 • Family
When I was first researching tour agencies, Ahmed connected on WhatsApp and was able to provide information very quickly. We took a one-day tour that included the Giza pyramids and Sphinx statue, a camel ride, an Egyptian museum, and Coptic and Islamic Cairo. The Egyptologist Mohammed was very well versed in the history and gave our family a good background of the history of Egypt so we could follow along everywhere. He also took us to a papyrus and perfume factory that explained the ancient art of creating writing material and Egyptian perfume making. I was also surprised to know that the Holy Family lived in Egypt for 3 years a must-visit for Christians. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

Great Experience with Happy Egypt
Dec 2023 • Couples
The trip with Happy Egypt from Luxor to Abu Simbel and back was very well organized, pleasant, safe and eventful. Our driver Gaber took great care of us, showed us the real Egypt and made our trip an unforgettable experience. He picked us up every day before sunrise and we were the first visitors to each attraction. This made our trip very special and we had a wonderful time.

Will organized and prompt response
Nov 2023 • Couples
When I started to plan the trip from Aswan to Luxor ( 4 days 3 nights cruise) , I got prompt response and quotation from Happy Egypt through whataspp, which facilitated me to make decision and planning.
We chose the MS May Flower Cruise which accommodations are clean, new and tidy. The services on the cruise was excellent with helpful and friendly staff.
I am provided with a very knowledgeable guide , Hany, who could introduce all the sightseeing points well and took care of us well.
The trip to Abusimbel was unforgettable.
The sail on Nile River with felucca was nice and enjoyable.
We also booked additional trip to Nibican Village , where the beautiful colorful houses catched our eyes.
The company also provided us a free wifi router.

Spectacular Eygpt Custom Small Group Tour
Nov 2023 • Couples
We were a group of eight, three couples and two friends. I started our planning the trip by getting quotes from several companies,but Ahmed was able to provide the best value for our group.
We started our trip in Cairo and we're met at the airport where our visas were already in his hands and he was able to walk us through one of the long lines out to our driver who took us to the Cairo Marriott (last year we stayed at Marriott Mena House with Pyramid views).
Saturday morning our driver Kareem and guide Yousseff took us to Giza Pyramid Complex, lunch and then the Eygpt Museum.
Sunday we toured Islamic and Coptic Cairo, then lunch and shopping at KhanKhalily bazaars.
Monday morning we flew to Luxor and we're met by our guide Mohammed Hasan. We toured Karnak Temple and then boarded our ship the MS Esmeralda to check in and have lunch. That evening we toured Luxor temple.
Over the next four nights we were impressed by the knowledge that our guide, Mohammed Hasan gave us during the tours of the West bank of Luxor, Valley of the
Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Colossi of Memnon, Abu Simbel, Philadelphia Temple and Eygpt overall.
All of our group was impressed with the quality of service, tour schedule and most of all our guides.
Mohammed Hasan as an Egyptologist has 21 years of experience. One of the group members was in his third trip to Eygpt and said Mohammed was far superior than the other guides he had.
From start to end everything was coordinated very well by Ahmed the owner of the agency. We really enjoyed the mobile hotspots he provided because it helped to stay connected.
Can't wait for our next trip with them.

Great organisation and tour guide
We had a private 3-day tour around Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel.
The organization was perfect and so was the guide, Mahmoud, who made sure we were enjoying it and provided many tips on places to visit and eat.
Highly recommended!

Magnificent, overwhelming and magical Egypt
Happy Egypt tours exceeded our expectations! Ahmed took care of all the details from the movement we landed in Cairo until the moment we departed. We spent two days in Cairo before flying to Luxor for the Nile Cruise. Our guide in Cairo was Yousef, he was fantastic and has a great sense of humour. We’d certainly request him again. Once we flew to Luxor we were met by our guide Mohammed Hassan at Luxor airport. We were all so excited to see him because we’d requested him from our trip last year with a different tour company. Mohammed is AMAZING!!!! He’s very professional, friendly and has a great sense of humour. He totally gets our ‘western’ culture, lingo and humour. Mohammed is like family to us now. That’s how quick you are drawn to him. We were very fortunate this time to meet his beautiful family. Can’t wait to see them again. Mohammed went above and beyond to call of duty when one of our group became sick (not trip related). He made calls t a doctor and arranged the pick up of treatment for our friend. Mohammed has been an Egyptologist and guide for just over 20 years. He’s not only a fountain of knowledge on all things Egypt but just about everything throughout the world. Please request him when choosing Happy Egypt Tours for you’re visit on The Nile. We sailed for the 2nd time on the MS Esmeralda and it did not disappoint. The crew remembered us from last year and we’re very happy to see us back. They are very attentive and cater to your every need. Thank you Ahmed for a great job, excellent communication, speedy responses to all our requests and just an overall amazing adventure once again. Egypt is magnificent and magical! Until next time…

GREAT experience!!! Punctual transfer, smooth and easy communication
We spent a day with Mahmoud, from Louxor to Hurghada. We stopped on the way in Abydos and Dandera. Mahmoud also arranged other transfers for us, such as Luxor - Aswan, and Esna - Luxor. Everything was smooth and the pricing was clear. The transfers were on time, in clean , comfortable and safe cars. There was no hassle or any kind of pressure throughout the entire process. the communication was smooth and easy. Mahmoud shared with us some adresses and showed us good quality restaurants. I would definitly contact him next time I need a transfer in Egypt. I highly recommend his professional services.

Chill and relax family day
Gentle staff, lovely ride in the felucca, lovely company. We had some water, tee and fruited for the ride. And visit the banana island and saw some animals

Amazing experience!
Ahmed was recommended by a friend to help book some of my Egypt private transfers and excursions like hot air ballooning. He saved me quite alot of money compared to what other booking sites were offering and was very helpful in day to day questions I had regarding flight changes, etc. I would highly recommend using this agency for your bookings during your Egyptian travels!
-webp-webp.webp)
Best Tour Company in Egypt. Maybe even best in the world.
This has to be the best tour organizing company in Egypt. I emailed an inquiry and got response within a few hours. I got connected to Ahmed via WhatsApp which is what almost all companies are using now. Ahmed spoke perfect English so communication was a breeze. He listened to all my vacation wishes and was quick to come up with EXACTLY what I was hoping for. He set me with with the 4 day/3night merit dahabiya cruise from Aswan to Luxor with the extra Abu Simbel trip and hot air balloon ride in Luxor. He also set us up with a private ride from Luxor to Hurghada.
Ahmed was very transparent on payment, method of payment (bank transfer which was normal), and itinerary. Everything was clear and concise. All communication was simple, prompt, and clear.
Mahmoud met us at the Aswan train station with our own driver and took us to the cruise and got us settled in. He even set us up with our own internet hookup since he said the cruise didn’t have any!!! The tours were all private with just him and my husband and I! Mahmoud showed us around Aswan and then met up with us again when we got to Luxor to show us around there. They took care of everything! Offered us snacks and water at no additional cost. I ended up getting a stomach bug and had to miss one day of touring and Mahmoud offered to tack on what I missed the next day!
The cruise was absolutely wonderful. The tours to the sites with Mahmoud were amazing. He studied archeology with an emphasis on hieroglyphics. So the information was in depth, which was just up my alley. He was so warm and friendly throughout the entire trip.
As for the drive to Hurghada-they got us to our Airbnb I booked independently. I ended up having issues getting allowed into the building complex (that had nothing to do with Happy Egypt) and one of the drivers stayed with me and helped with speaking Arabic to the building security for me. He didn’t leave my side until it was ok and even carried all our luggage to the unit and made sure we were all good to go before they left!!! They didn’t have to do that but they did anyway!
Also Ahmed kept checking in periodically throughout the trip to make sure everything was going fine and even checked in when I was out ill that one day.
Overall Happy Egypt Tours was absolutely flawless. This company is the one to go with!!!!!
