We've been arranging Egypt travel for British holidaymakers, families, and solo travellers since 1988. Our Cairo-based team of 60 Egyptologists and travel specialists creates authentic Egypt experiences with genuine local expertise.
Discovery Tours Egypt began in 1988 as a small Cairo-based team with a clear mission: give travellers authentic, expertly guided access to Egypt's ancient monuments and living culture. What started with a handful of Egyptologists has grown into a team of 60 specialists across our Egyptian offices.
