Pavel

I wanted to share my positive experience with Bookmundi regarding my recent 18-day 'Zen and Scenic Japan' tour. The booking process was remarkably easy and hassle-free, which was a huge relief. The customer service team deserves special praise for their patience and polite responses to my many questions, making me feel fully supported. The tour was more affordably priced than similar ones from other companies, and the bonus program was an appreciated addition. Because of this excellent experience, Bookmundi has earned a permanent client. Thank you for such a great journey.

Itinerary

Experience the magic of Egypt’s ancient wonders timed with a rare celestial event on the 'Abu Simbel Sun Festival'—a 9-day guided tour starting and ending in Cairo. This small group trip is a must for anyone fascinated by history or seeking a once-in-a-lifetime festival experience.

After exploring the awe-inspiring pyramids and Sphinx at Giza, journey south to Aswan for a visit to the island temple of Philae and the impressive Aswan Dam. The tour’s highlight is witnessing the Sun Festival at Abu Simbel, when sunlight illuminates the temple’s inner sanctum—an event that happens only twice a year, honoring Ramses II.

Sail the Nile on a traditional felucca from Aswan to Luxor, with a support boat adding comfort and convenience. Explore the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu en route. In Luxor, visit the monumental Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and Queen Hatshepsut’s temple, with free time to explore markets or relax by the pool. Optional extensions to the Red Sea are available for those wanting to continue the adventure.

The unique selling point is undoubtedly the Sun Festival at Abu Simbel—a rare spectacle that sets this tour apart. Accommodation, transport, and meals are included, ensuring a seamless, unforgettable Egyptian journey.
