What Egyptra Offers and Where It Operates

Egyptra Travel describes itself in its footer as a "Licensed Egyptian tour operator since 2010," with an address in Hadaba, Hurghada, and its homepage presents the catalog as "the trips we run across Egypt." It sells day excursions, private tours and multi-day trips that start from hotels in the Red Sea resorts and from Cairo and Luxor. The destination menu lists Sharm El-Sheikh, Hurghada, Cairo, Luxor, Marsa Alam, El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Safaga, Sahl Hasheesh and Soma Bay, and the headline reads "Book top-rated activities in Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, Luxor & Cairo." The site does not say whether every trip is run by its own staff or by local partners. Prices are shown in euros by default, with GBP, USD and EGP also selectable, and the site has a language menu that includes English, German, French, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Chinese and Hindi.

The homepage makes several claims about scale: "600+ Egypt tours," "1,000,000+ travellers served · 96,000+ reviews across all tours," and, in another section, "over 15 years of experience and 100,000+ happy travelers." It also promises "Professional Egyptologist guides" on historical tours.

The Range of Tours

The catalog is grouped as Historical Tours, Boat Trips, Safari Tours, Activities and Multi-Day Tours, with a separate Private Tours list. The homepage's most popular trips are mostly from Hurghada. The Dolphin Watching Boat Tour with Snorkeling and Lunch runs 7 hours from €20 and shows 4.7 from 10,139 reviews; the Orange Bay and Snorkeling Cruise with Lunch is from €21 (4.7 from 6,732 reviews); the ATV Quad Safari, Camel Ride and Bedouin Village Tour runs 3 hours from €15 (4.6 from 5,775 reviews). Other listed trips include Giftun Island snorkeling from €19, a 3-hour guided city tour from €14, a 7-hour Bedouin dinner and show with ATV, jeep and buggy rides from €30, and the Empire Submarine boat trip.

From Sharm El-Sheikh, the list includes a 5-hour ATV safari, parasail, glass boat and water sports package shown at €40 against €42, and a full-day trip to the Giza Plateau and the Egyptian Museum from €59. Further down are Ras Mohammed and White Island snorkeling, a Colored Canyon, Blue Hole and Dahab day trip, and a Petra day tour by ferry and bus. Marsa Alam trips include Hamata Islands snorkeling, and there is a Luxor day trip from Hurghada to the Valley of the Kings for a small group.

Private Tours

The private list is long and pitched as a guide of your own at your own pace, with "just your group, no strangers." It includes a Sharm El-Sheikh private city tour with old market shopping (3 hours, from €14), the Private Cairo Royal Discovery VIP from Hurghada covering the Grand Egyptian Museum and Khan El Khalili (1 day, from €160), a Pyramids, Sphinx, Saqqara and Memphis private tour from Cairo from €69, a female-guided Cairo tour, a Luxor sunset felucca ride, a hot air balloon flight over Luxor from El Gouna, and private yacht and speedboat trips from Hurghada, Sharm, Makadi and Sahl Hasheesh. Two-day private trips include Cairo, Giza, Sakkara and Memphis from Hurghada at €325 (4.7 from 38 reviews) and Luxor and Abu Simbel from El Gouna at €410 (4.7 from 3 reviews), with the same Luxor and Abu Simbel trip offered from Soma Bay, Makadi, Safaga and Hurghada.

In Cairo and Luxor the private menu goes deeper than the resort day trips. Cairo options include the Citadel of Saladin, the Egyptian Museum and Khan El Khalili; Old Cairo; a half-day pyramids tour with a photographer; and a Giza Plateau tour with entry inside the Great Pyramid included. Luxor options include a half-day at the Karnak and Luxor temples, a full-day highlights tour with pickup, the West Bank tombs of the kings and queens with lunch, Medinat Habu with the Valley of the Queens, and an Abu Simbel day trip. From the coast there are also Dendera and Medinet Habu from El Gouna, a Luxor and Aswan 2-day trip from Marsa Alam with a 5-star hotel, and a private Hurghada city tour combined with a Turkish hammam. Non-tour extras include a hammam and full spa program in Makadi Bay, desert stargazing jeep trips with dinner, and an airport transfer between Hurghada and Safaga.

Booking, Pickup and Terms

The homepage sums up its terms in a banner: "All-inclusive with transfers," "Free pickup & drop-off from your hotel," and "Cancel 12h | Change 4h before." The footer links to a separate Cancellation & Refund Policy. Tours can be saved to a wishlist across devices, and there is a free trip planner that promises an itinerary "in about 60 seconds."

Support is listed as "24/7 support by phone & WhatsApp," with a phone number (+20 101 195 7868), an email address and a WhatsApp chat. The site runs several discount schemes: "Save Up to 40% on Selected Tours," a spin-the-wheel code where "most spins win 5% off" (prizes also include €8 off for free hotel pickup and €15 off a photo package, with codes valid for 7 days), and a 5% code for sharing a tour, valid for 3 months. Travel agencies and tour operators can apply for "partner rates on 600+ Egypt tours" with "instant confirmation on all bookings," and the page says the scheme has "no commissions, no minimum volume, no contracts to chase."

What the Site Leaves Open and Who It Suits

The homepage's "12h" cancellation line does not say whether the refund is full, and the full policy sits on a separate page. The site does not publish group sizes for its shared excursions, and it does not say which guide languages are available beyond the Egyptologist promise, even though the site itself runs in many languages. Its own figures for past travelers differ between sections, so they are best read as marketing.

Egyptra suits holidaymakers in Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh and the other Red Sea resorts who want to book a snorkel trip, a desert safari or a long day to Cairo or Luxor with hotel pickup and a price shown up front, and families or couples who prefer a private guide for the pyramids or Abu Simbel.
