About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- yayauau0 contributionsgood serviceThe tour to abu simbel was so nice that I will book this tour again when I visit aswan. Also my driver and my friend, Jaber drived us to abu simbel so safe, and we was touched by his kindness and good service :)Written 26 November 2024
- Safari7574600 contributionsHighly recommend for Great private car service from aswan to luxorI used the transfer service by private car from aswan to luxor with happy egypt which is the best agency I have had in egypt! Firstly they supplied a very good conditioned car. Big and comfortable. It was perfect to relax in the road. Secondly Jaber, the driver, prepared welcome drinks and snacks! He is also very kind and gentle with funny jokes haha. He made our trip much more pleasant. Thanks for the perfect service! Highly recommend Happy Egypt✨️Written 26 November 2024
- natj5230 contributionsFantastic driver ….highly recommendedWe initially used Happy Egypt for a trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel. The service we were provided was so good, we then went on to use the same driver for the transfer to Luxor from Aswan, a trip to the East Bank and West Bank and the onward transfer to Hurghada. Our driver, Gaber was fantastic. His English was perfect and his car was always spotless with replenished refreshments at every stop. He was friendly, extremely reliable and his knowledge of Luxor was invaluable. Gabor really did make our trip stress free and we can’t recommend him enough to anyone travelling to Egypt.Written 16 November 2024
- 227damiant0 contributionsHappy Egypt outstandingAmazing full day Luxor East and West bank tour with our awesome guide Mohammed Hasan and excellent driver Jaber. Mohammed was extremely knowledgeable and great company. Thank you Happy Egypt for the absolutely wonderful experience in LuxorWritten 29 October 2024
- 155ta_b0 contributionsGreat experience!We had a 9 day Egypt tour, which included a few days in Cairo and a Nile Cruise. Everything was very well organized and we could just enjoy the time. It was also no problem to add a few things we wanted to do. The group was only the four of us during the excursions. We had a great time and Khalaf was a very good guide. The ship of the cruise was not the newest, but had everything one might need. I also believe it's possible to book more luxury by paying more. In summary, we had a great experience and I'll definitely recommend Happy Egypt to anyone going to Egypt.Written 21 October 2024
- Pioneer128852871630 contributionsAmazing Time!Hend was absolutely fantastic and made my father and I feel so welcomed on our last day in Egypt! She was very knowledgeable and I highly recommend her if you need a tour guide!Written 27 August 2024
- arebo0490 contributionsAn unforgettable cruise along the Nile discovering ancient Egypt and much moreWe 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! Dyanna & AntonioWritten 30 June 2024
- 1mark_tak0 contributionsBest experience EVERWe 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.Written 28 April 2024
- mayapR7225MK0 contributionsBest 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 lifetimeWritten 21 April 2024
- Vacation526235024840 contributionsBetter than expected transfer to LuxorWe 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!!Written 17 April 2024
- Anne M0 contributionsOutstanding tailor-made visit of Nile valley and Cairo extension (private tour)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.Written 10 April 2024
- Extraordinary3827410 contributionsVery reliable tour agencyThe tour was very organised and they meet what was planned. Communication was also very clear, from the planning to during the tour. We would like to highlight that we enjoy the tour guide they assigned to us in Cairo, and the driver in Luxor.Written 10 April 2024
- Shukabby0 contributionsThe best itinerary at Luxor旅行の予約が非常にスムーズに行われ、スケジュールは私たちの希望を最大限に受け入れてくれました。 熱気球はホテルまで時間通りに迎えが来て、ドライバーは最後まで非常に紳士的でした。 気球は全ての人が十分に景色を堪能できるように余裕のある人数で乗ることができます。 気球は乗るだけでなく、気球が浮かび上がる様子を見る所から迫力ある体験ができます。 ルクソールからデンデラへのday tripは出発希望時間を聞いてくれ、私たちだけのための旅程が組まれました。 この旅もドライバーはとても紳士的でした。 昨年もこの会社に依頼しましたが、この会社は常にゆとりある綺麗な車を用意してくれます。 プライベートの依頼でもコストは非常に好意的です。 この先も私はこちらの会社に依頼し続けます。 The travel arrangements were made extremely smoothly, and the schedule accommodated our preferences to the fullest extent. The hot air balloon driver arrived at the hotel on time, and the driver was very courteous throughout. The balloon can accommodate a comfortable number of passengers so that everyone can enjoy the scenery adequately. Riding the balloon offers a thrilling experience, not only from being aloft but also from witnessing the balloon ascend. For the day trip from Luxor to Dendera, they inquired about our preferred departure time and arranged an itinerary just for us. The driver for this journey was also very courteous. We had used this company last year as well, and they always provide spacious and clean cars. Even for private arrangements, their costs are very reasonable. I intend to continue relying on this company for my future travels.Written 9 April 2024
- Lilo_alj0 contributionsThe best of worry-free 10 days in Egypt as a solo female travellerI 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!Written 28 March 2024
- A952HHmar_am0 contributionsA Nile dream in DahabiyaWe 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.Written 20 January 2024

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.

I would choose Gaber every time!
This was by far the best part of our trip because of Gaber’s services. I am a seasoned traveler but this was my first time in Egypt. His services provided a sense of security and trust while exploring Luxor. He took me and my girlfriends to Dendera and did an outstanding job of providing a clean vehicle, excellent temperature control, tour like details of the country (without the extra charge), and a friendship by the end of our journey. He explained things easily to help us make good decisions for our trip and allowed us to enjoy this experience. Every recommendation was spot on and I will use him again when I return with my child. A must use service.
