Working with us

You keep the client. We carry the ground.

Partners tell us the same thing: it feels as though they ran the trip themselves, without the hassle. That is the whole job. Your brand stays in front of your travelers, and our team handles every pickup, guide, ticket, train and cabin behind it. The ease and care your travelers feel on the ground is what we are measured on.

Simple by design

Proof on the ground

What running a group in Egypt actually involves

An Egypt programme is not one booking; it is dozens of handovers. Here they are in the order a group meets them, all handled by the same team.

One day, in detail

A typical Abu Simbel day from Aswan

Abu Simbel sits close to 280 km south of Aswan. It is the day that shows whether a ground handler plans or improvises.

  1. Hotel or ship pickup, with breakfast boxes for the road.
  2. Road south in an air-conditioned vehicle, with a rest stop on the way.
  3. Two temples with your Egyptologist, timed before the midday heat.
  4. Back in Aswan, with the rest of the day free or a felucca at sunset.

Total solar eclipse · 2 August 2027

Luxor sits under 6 minutes 23 seconds of totality, the longest on easily reachable land this century. Groups need beds, flights and a viewing site held well ahead.
