We are happy to work with professional travel agents finding the
right cruise (and tour) for their clients.
We are experts at designing custom FIT’s for parties of two or
two hundred. From Pharaonic themed dinners in temples (or at the
pyramids of Giza) to concerts by famous Egyptian musicians, from
camping at an oasis to the luxury of the Four Seasons, from running
the Luxor marathon to a round of PGA quality golf, we can do it.
We have been entertaining and educating travelers to Egypt since
1985. Our USA reservations staff have all been to Egypt numerous
times and in keeping with a continuing education format, all go
at least once each year. We personally inspect all ships and hotels
we recommend at least every six months. Our guides are licensed
Egyptologists, most graduates of the American University (Cairo)
and many with multiple degrees.
Our small group programs are guaranteed to operate regardless
of the number of travelers with a maximum number of 16 on each program.
Our payment and credit policies are the most liberal in the industry.
Visit our Terms and Conditions for full
details.
Our fam trips are legendary and if you would like to be added
to our mailing list for upcoming ones please mail us your business
card with agency details and a copy of your IATA, TRUE or CLIA card.
We look forward to working with you. If you have
