A Personal Note from Our Founder
My name is Ahmed Emam, Founder of Around Egypt Tours.
My journey in travel began with a dream in 2005 — a dream to share the real beauty, history, and spirit of Egypt with travellers from around the world. For five years I worked, planned, and prepared, until in 2010 that dream became a reality when I founded Around Egypt Tours with one clear belief: Egypt is one of the most extraordinary destinations on earth, and every traveller who comes here deserves to experience it smoothly, safely, and beautifully.
For more than sixteen years, our team has planned, guided, and personally delivered thousands of journeys across Egypt — from the Pyramids of Giza at sunrise to the temples of Abu Simbel, from the peaceful silence of the Western Desert to the colourful coral reefs of the Red Sea.
Over the years, we have seen what a truly unforgettable Egypt trip looks like. We have also seen how easily a journey can fall short when travellers book with operators who do not give enough care, attention, or honesty.
That is why we built Around Egypt Tours differently.
Every itinerary we create is planned with the same care we would give to our own family. Every guide we work with is carefully selected for their knowledge, professionalism, and passion. Every client who contacts us receives a real, honest, and personal response — not an automated reply.
Egypt is waiting for you, and we are here to make sure you experience it at its very best.
Around Egypt Tours — 16 Years of Crafting Unforgettable Egyptian Journeys
Why travellers choose us
We are Egyptian and we are independent. Unlike international booking platforms that take large commissions and apply generic itineraries, we are a locally owned Egyptian company. Our profits stay in Egypt, our guides are Egyptian professionals, and our knowledge of this country is direct and personal — not sourced from a brochure.
We save you up to 25% on travel costs. By booking your Egypt tour directly through us, you eliminate the middlemen, the platform fees, and the unnecessary markups. You get a better itinerary for less money, with a team that is reachable directly at every stage of your journey.
We handle every detail. From your airport welcome on day one to your departure transfer on the final day, our team manages every element of your trip — accommodation, guides, transportation, entrance tickets, Nile cruise cabins, and more. You arrive. We take care of everything else.
We respond like humans, not systems. Every inquiry we receive is read by a real member of our team. We do not use automated responses. We answer within hours, not days, and we tailor every response to your specific travel plans.
