About This is Egypt

Egypt has thousands of tours spread across dozens of booking sites, and the same trip can cost wildly different amounts depending on where you look. We bring those listings together in one place, show you the real price and rating for each, and tell you which platform is cheapest, so you can decide in seconds instead of opening ten tabs. When you’re ready, we hand you off to the operator or platform to complete the booking on their own secure checkout.

Every listing carries a real rating and review count pulled from the platform it’s sold on, and we lead with the experiences travellers actually rate highly and book most. We flag when the identical tour appears on several sites so you can compare prices at a glance, and we keep thin or duplicate listings out of the way. We don’t accept payment to rank an experience higher.

Alongside partner listings you’ll see Originals, experiences we design and operate directly, delivered by licensed local guides and outfitters we have vetted in person. Every Original carries a badge, a fixed price, and our own team on WhatsApp before, during and after your trip. When something goes wrong on an Original, you talk to us, not a call centre.

This is Egypt is run by a Cairo-based team of travel specialists and licensed guides who live in Egypt year round. We are not a global booking engine with a support desk in another timezone. When you message us, you are talking to people who know the sites, the seasons and the operators first hand.

We’re a discovery and comparison platform, not the seller. Prices, availability and cancellation terms belong to the operator or platform you book with, and your booking is a contract with them. Most experiences offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before, with instant confirmation to your phone. Always check the provider’s own terms at checkout. See our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for the detail.

The whole country: Cairo and Giza, Luxor and Aswan, the Red Sea resorts (Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, Marsa Alam, Dahab), Alexandria and the desert oases. Browse by destination, collection, or read our travel guides to plan the trip.

This is Egypt is part of a small family of independent destination guides built the same way. If your travels also take you to Central Asia, our sister site This is Kyrgyzstan covers the best tours and treks across Kyrgyzstan.
