We Protect Your budget!, No Hidden Fees!

When introduced to Egypt tours through tens of thousands of websites and tour agencies, you will see how the price of a same tour package differs, and most probably you will be able to get so cheap prices for your "trip of a life time" as described by these travel companies and online agencies! What we would like to clarify here is how the price of a tour package is determined and why sometimes it is so cheap. Cheap does not necessarily mean low quality of service, but it necessarily means that there will be some hidden fees/expenses!!

Traditionally local tour companies follow a certain system for selling their products which can be called "bring him first on our thigh" which means they will save no effort to let you first BUY the package at any possible acceptable-by-you price, and then when you come, they will be having their very own ways to make money out of you!

But here our concept is totally different we are traveller, we are in love with egypt and try to keep our reputation on the sky , responsible price .. hight quality servise

No hidden fees .. no "between the lines tricks". We prefer gain a friend come to us a again and again more than some little cash

Egypt Transportation

General Idea The second oldest railways in the world are in Egypt, the main line has 1100 Km (about 750 miles) that you as a tourist are going to use, links Alexandria and goes up to the south by the Nile valley to Aswan, the most southern city in Egypt.

One highway connects Cairo with Alexandria.

A lot other highways connect Cairo to Ismailia, Port Said, Suez Governorate, Bahariya oasis, Asyyot and Al Fayyoum Oasis.

International airlines provide flights between Cairo and major world cities. Egypt-Air, the government-owned airline, also provides domestic and International services; the country has about 80 airports.

The major ports are in Alexandria, followed by Port Said and Suez, all of which are occupied by several shipping companies.

The Suez Canal, which was opened in 1869, is used by thousands of ships annually to cross from West to east and vice versa.

A huge net of public buses covers almost all of the country

Why egypt ?Egypt is safe ? I saw bla bla on Media ?

Why do you travel Egypt? .. The answer can be " I travel Egypt like anyone does!", But this naswer is empty and has no obvious reason why could you choose Egypt and not any other destination. Most people Travel Egypt to see the pyramids and the ancient temples, some travel it just because they want to see the Sphinx, and there are many other travel Egypt because they love it.

Tourism in Egypt is down after the uprising of 2011, and there is around 11 million people suffering from losing their business related to tourism. Media hype exaggerates what is happening. Egypt is safer than most cities in the USA.
