About us
We started in 2007 with one guide, one car and a conviction that Egypt deserves better than a fixed-departure coach tour. That has not changed.
Our story
Egypt Journeys began when Nadia Farouk, then a guide at Giza, got tired of watching visitors spend eleven days in Egypt and see it through a coach window. She started planning trips herself — one family at a time, with the guides she trusted.
Eighteen years later we are a team of twenty-two: planners in Zamalek, guides in Cairo, Luxor and Sharm, and drivers who have been with us since the beginning. We have hosted more than four thousand travellers and we still write every itinerary by hand.
What we sell is judgement — knowing that the Valley of the Kings is better at 6am in July, that the Grand Egyptian Museum needs a full day, and that a felucca at sunset will be the thing you remember.


What we stand for
One country, known properly. We are not a global agency with an Egypt page — this is all we do, and it is where we live.
No coach parties. Most of our trips run with one family or one couple, at whatever pace suits them that day.
Ministry of Tourism licence #4412. Every guide is degree-qualified in Egyptology and licensed to work at the sites.
We pay guides and drivers above the market rate, book directly with family-run hotels, and never take kickbacks from shops.
The team
Your planner stays with you from the first email to the last transfer — no handovers, no call centre.
