Pyramids of Giza - Egypt Tours
18+ Years of Excellence

Our Story

It all started in 2007 with a simple dream: to share the wonders of Egypt with the world, one traveller at a time. What began as a small family operation in Cairo has grown into one of the UK's most trusted Egypt specialists.

Our founder, Shafek Gobran, grew up in the shadow of the Pyramids. His grandfather was an archaeologist who worked alongside Howard Carter. This deep connection to Egypt's history isn't just professional — it's personal, and it runs through everything we do.

Today, we've welcomed over 15,000 travellers from around the world. We've earned a 4.9-star rating on TripAdvisor from more than 3,500 verified reviews. But the number we're most proud of? The countless guests who've told us their Egypt trip was "the best holiday of their life."

We're not a faceless corporation. We're a team of 45 passionate individuals — Egyptologists, drivers, guides, and travel consultants — who genuinely care about making your trip extraordinary.

I was nervous about booking with a company based in Egypt. Would my money be safe? Would the tours be what they promised? I needn't have worried. From the first WhatsApp message to the final farewell at the airport, everything was perfect. Our guide Ahmed was exceptional — his knowledge made the Pyramids come alive. This wasn't just a holiday; it was the trip of a lifetime.
