Egypt Tours Portal

What It Is and Where It Operates

Egypt Tours Portal is a licensed Egyptian tour operator and travel agency that plans and runs trips inside Egypt, with add-on routes to neighboring countries. The homepage says it is a "Licensed Egypt travel agency since 1987 with license No. 672" and "a trusted, fully licensed Egyptian tour operator," and the services page describes "our highly experienced team of tour operators, travel consultants, guides, drivers, and support staff." Its destination menu covers Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, El Gouna, Marsa Alam, Makadi Bay, Sharm El-Sheikh, Port Ghalib and Soma Bay, and its multi-country routes pair Egypt with Jordan, Turkey or Morocco, or with Jordan and Turkey or Jordan and Morocco together. Prices on the site are shown in US dollars.

The homepage lists its credentials: Ministry of Tourism licensed, "Official IATA Member," "Official ASTA Member" and ISO certification (ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 21101), plus membership of the World Travel and Tourism Society. It says it won "Egypt's Leading Travel Agency" at the World Travel Awards in 2021 and 2023, and a site banner asks visitors to vote for it in the 2026 edition.

The Tour Range and Prices

The catalog is sorted by style: Classic, Luxury, Budget, Family, Group, Honeymoon, Senior, Solo, Christmas and Easter tours, plus cruises. The family-vacation page shows a sample of packages with from-prices. The 5 Days Nile River Cruise Luxor to Aswan (5 days, 4 nights) starts from $490, and the 3 Nights Nile River Cruise from Aswan, including Abu Simbel, from $510. Land-and-cruise packages run from the 7 Days Budget Tour to Cairo, Nile Cruise and Alexandria at $1190, through the 10 Days Egypt Tour of Cairo, Nile Cruise and Hurghada at $1625, to the 13 Days Alexandria, Cairo, Hurghada Nile Cruise Holiday at $1965. A shorter 5 Days Cairo, Luxor and Abu Simbel Tour starts from $1045, and an 8 Days Dahabiya Nile River Cruise from Luxor from $1870.

The company's Nile cruise guide argues that Upper Egypt contains "around one-third of Egypt's great monuments" and that the best way to see them is on the river between Luxor and Aswan. The services page says it books both 5* deluxe and 5* luxury Nile cruises and hotels in three categories, and that the published itineraries are "guide programs" that its tour operators adapt to each traveler's requests.

The same Nile cruise guide sets out the options. Standard Luxor and Aswan cruises are listed from $425, Lake Nasser cruises to Abu Simbel and the Nubian temples from $520, and Dahabiya sailings from $775. Cruises come in three lengths: from Luxor, 4 or 7 nights, and from Aswan, 3 or 7 nights. The guide recommends October to the end of April as the best time to sail, advises booking early for a better choice of boat, and suggests packing sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen, plus a blanket for winter evenings on deck. The services page also offers help with special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons and proposals.

How Trips Work on the Ground

The services page sets out what the company handles directly: domestic flights between Cairo and Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada or Sharm El-Sheikh, air-conditioned vehicles with its own drivers, and "some of the most experienced Egyptologist tour guides all over Egypt." For travelers who can get a visa on arrival, "our representatives are there for your assistance" at the airport; for those who must apply in advance, it helps after the booking is confirmed. Support is available "24 hours for the 7 days of the week" for emergencies, by WhatsApp, Viber or phone.

The site's selling points promise "private, customizable journeys tailored to your pace," "elite, licensed Egyptologists who act as storytellers, not just tour leaders," and a dedicated coordinator for each trip. Reviews on the site, which are the company's selection, back up the airport help: several describe a representative meeting them with a sign, sorting visas and walking them through customs. One reviewer on a group tour mentions an "optimal group size of 10," though the company does not state a group-size cap itself. Another, from Kiawah Island in South Carolina, describes a guide named Mahmoud as "always prompt, professional, and easy to communicate with."

The family-vacation page gives advice for traveling with children, from Nile cruises to Red Sea resorts, and says an agency can handle "all the accommodation, transportations, tour guides and every other detail."

Booking and Payment

Bookings start with a request, after which a tour operator follows up. The services page describes a secure online payment method in which the guest sends the required amount without the company seeing their card details. The footer links a Payment and Cancellation Policy, Terms and Conditions and an Authority License page, but the cancellation schedule and deposit amount are not stated on the tour, services or About pages. One reviewer notes that their bank cards would not work with the deposit link or in person, so it is worth confirming the payment method early. Beyond packages, the site also sells day tours, shore excursions and multi-country tours, and its blog is written by a team the site describes as Egyptologists, historians and travel consultants. Contact is by phone on +20 100-405-1515, by email or by WhatsApp.

Reviews, Gaps and Who It Suits

The About page shows 5,425+ reviews on Tripadvisor, 103+ on Google, 877+ on Trustpilot and 80+ on WeTravel, and the homepage says the company has won the Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Award "for 12 consecutive years since 2013." These are the company's figures.

The site leaves open the cancellation terms, the deposit and a group-size cap for its group tours, and its figures on experience vary by page, from "over three decades" to 37 and 39 years.

Egypt Tours Portal suits travelers who want a fully arranged Egypt trip, from airport visa help to domestic flights, a Nile cruise and a Red Sea stay, at published starting prices, with the option to have it made private. It suits less well anyone who wants to see the full cancellation terms before sending an enquiry.
