A Word From Our President

Dear Traveler,

Planning a trip is not easy and neither is finding the right professional and knowledgeable tour operator to do so. With so much to see, so many places to visit, and such rich history to rediscover, Egypt Tours & Travel understands the vital importance of making the most of each trip taken.

Our goal is to cultivate enriching experiences for our travelers in places with vast opportunities for cultural expansion and knowledge. Our clients will tour areas that are subject to growth and, most importantly, history, as we encourage everyone to push boundaries to discover more about the fascinating world, we live in. With Egypt Tours & Travel, our travelers will adventure through time to discover new sights, world wonders, and captivating people.

Egypt Tours & Travel, Inc. is a member of ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents) and IATAN (International Airline Travel Association Network), and an allied member of USTOA (United States Tour Operators Association). Our organization is recognized by some of the most distinguished travel associations in the industry due to our desire to create the best and well-rounded adventures for our travelers. We have three offices in the U.S.A. and Egypt, with one of our offices located on the grounds of the famous "Gold Pyramid House" of Illinois. With numerous colleagues and representatives in other countries, rest assured you are dealing with years of experience, excellence, and reliability.

Our service is recognized by many of our clients to be second to none. We aspire to create unforgettable memories for travelers during each one of our handcrafted and escorted private vacations, and we take pride in helping your dream trip become a reality. With a genuine understanding of our client’s needs, we are committed to two basic beliefs: crafting quality tour packages and delivering unprecedented service. Once you arrive at your destination, you will be fully assisted by expert location escorts, trip managers, tour guides, archaeologists, and fully certified Egyptologists, who will make your trip a rewarding and memorable experience. Our expert staff will answer any questions you might have throughout your trip to ensure a comfortable and rewarding experience.

What makes all of our Egyptian, Jordanian, Iranian, Saudi Arabian, Ethiopian, and Turkish tours so unique is that we guarantee an individualized tour. We will provide you with a private car, a tour guide, and a driver during all your transfers and full-day sightseeing tours- that means better service and more attention to you as a client, with the services and experience of our staff at your constant disposal.

Although our published tours are unique, in-depth, and educational, sometimes passengers prefer a greater degree of flexibility. This is another one of our specialties. We allow you to explore the sights according to your specifications at a personalized pace in what we call a custom-made tailored package, where our staff will assist you in building your trip. If what you need is not available on our website, if you need to customize or mix and match any of our packages, or if your schedule and interests don’t match one of our programs, we can design a trip especially for you. We can also arrange a business trip, as well as honeymoon packages.

The destinations displayed on our website are unique, exotic, and mysterious - allowing you to visit the cradles of civilization that possess history and sites unlike any other in the world. Our goal is to give you everything you expect from a superior and reliable tour operator company.

We feature the best, most elegant, and unique properties and cruise ships; properties that have character, ambiance, history, style, maximum comfort, charm, and personal service. Some of the locations used are historical landmarks, like the Marriott Mena House Hotel, the Cairo Marriott Hotel Towers and Casino with its palace, the Winter Palace Hotel in Luxor, King David in Israel, and the Norfolk Hotel in Kenya to name just a few. Our sightseeing is comprehensive and includes some seldom-seen, off-the-track treasures. As an Egypt Tours & Travel client, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in diverse cultures, traditional attractions, and the "must-sees" of each location alongside many other non-traditional travel experiences.

Egypt Tours & Travel engages the best scholars on our tours to each location, such as Anthropologists, Egyptologists, Historians, and Biblical Archaeologists. We help enhance and immerse the traveler’s understanding of the cultures visited and work with only the best natives and most knowledgeable guides.

The so-called "affordable/bargain tours" available in the market may seem less expensive on the surface but when you compare tour packages and look closely at what is included, you will find that the difference is obvious. With Egypt Tours & Travel, you don't pay extra for optional tours, VAT taxes, port charges, service charges, government taxes, and other hidden and unexpected costs. We include sights, tours, and events that other companies don't think of, and might not even know about.

Egypt Tours and Travel make travel exciting by exposing our clients to fascinating places of adventure, history, and culture. Get ready to explore the beaten path and experience travel in the most enriching and satisfying way.

We look forward to having you with us.
