About Egypt Travel Agency
What does a destination management company (DMC) in Egypt actually do?
A DMC is the local operating partner behind a trip. Egypt Travel Agency designs the itinerary, contracts hotels, arranges private transport and licensed guides, sources Nile cruises, and runs the programme on the ground in Egypt — usually on behalf of a tour operator or travel advisor who owns the client relationship.

Do you work with travel companies, or directly with travellers?
Both, though trade partners come first. Most of our work is business-to-business: ground handling and programme operation for international tour operators, luxury travel advisors, MICE and corporate planners, and special-interest groups. We also arrange private journeys for individual travellers as a secondary line. More on this →
What is white-label ground handling?
We deliver the programme inside Egypt while your clients experience your brand throughout. Your agency keeps the client relationship and all client-facing communication; we operate quietly behind it. More on this →
Which parts of Egypt do you cover?
Cairo and Giza, Luxor and the Nile Valley, Aswan and Abu Simbel, the Red Sea, and the Western Desert — nationwide operations across Egypt. More on this →
How does the proposal process work?
Six defined stages: we confirm your brief and requirements; prepare a tailored itinerary and commercial proposal; verify suppliers, terms and inventory; run a pre-arrival review of manifests, timings and special requests; execute on the ground with a dedicated operations team; then follow up after travel.

What support is available while a group is travelling?
A local operations team is reachable 24/7 for the duration of an active programme — before, during and after travel. More on this →
Working With Us — Commercial Terms
Do you sell direct, or compete with our agency?
No. We are a B2B ground operator. We never take a programme built around a partner's brief, rates or clients and resell it to the public — you keep the client relationship, we deliver in Egypt. More on this →
Do you quote net rates?
Yes. Programmes are quoted at confidential net rates so you set your own markup. Pricing is prepared per enquiry against your brief, market and commercial requirements — we do not publish retail rates that would compete with partners. More on this →
Is there a minimum booking to work with you?
No minimum to start. We handle single tailor-made FIT programmes as well as series departures and large groups, and we are happy to quote a first programme with no volume commitment. More on this →
How quickly do you turn around a quote?
We aim to respond to a standard trade enquiry within one business day, with complex multi-city or MICE programmes taking a little longer while we confirm suppliers and inventory. More on this →
Nile Cruises & Dahabiyas
How long is a standard Nile cruise?
Standard itineraries run 3 nights from Aswan to Luxor or 4 nights from Luxor to Aswan, over roughly 230 km, calling at Edfu and Kom Ombo. A typical cruise ship carries 80 to 150 passengers. More on this →
Do you offer cabin allotments or full charters?
Both. We hold and manage cabin allocations on scheduled sailings for FITs and smaller groups, and arrange full-boat charters where a group wants exclusive use. We advise which fits your group size and budget. More on this →
Can you arrange dahabiyas for small groups?
Yes. A dahabiya typically has 6 to 10 cabins and 8 to 20 guests, which makes a private full-boat charter realistic for a small incentive or luxury group — a slower, exclusive-use alternative to a cruise ship. More on this →
Which vessel do you use for a Nile cruise programme?
It depends on the brief. We source and match the vessel to the client profile rather than working from a single fixed ship, and we review quality on the boats we recommend. Tell us the standard you need and we will come back with options and cabin availability. More on this →
MICE, Groups & Events
What does a MICE DMC in Egypt do?
A MICE DMC is the local partner that plans and runs meetings, incentives, conferences and events on the ground. Egypt Travel Agency handles venues and meeting space, hotel room blocks, delegate transfers and airport handling, gala dinners and production, licensed guiding for programmes, and full on-site coordination — for corporate planners, agencies and tour operators. More on this →
Can you handle incentive groups and gala dinners?
Yes. Incentives are a core line: reward programmes, private-access experiences, themed events and gala dinners at landmark settings, with the permits and production that go with them. We scale from small incentive groups to large delegations. More on this →
Do you arrange conference venues and meeting space?
Yes. We source and verify conference hotels and meeting space — real capacities, ceiling heights, AV and back-of-house — and manage room blocks, registration and the movement of delegates around the programme. More on this →
What is the best season for MICE in Egypt?
October to April is the comfortable window, with peak demand December to February. Summer programmes run with heat-aware timing. Because peak space and cruises book out early, MICE programmes should be secured well ahead. More on this →
What group sizes do you handle?
From small executive incentives to large conference delegations, including multi-hotel groups and moving several hundred delegates through Egyptian airports with staged transfers. More on this →
Destinations
How many days does Cairo need?
Two full days at minimum for the pyramids, a museum and historic Cairo; three days lets you separate the Grand Egyptian Museum and NMEC properly and add the bazaar and Citadel. More on this →
How many days does Luxor need?
Two full days — one per bank of the Nile — with a third for ballooning or deeper west-bank exploration at a relaxed pace. More on this →
Is Abu Simbel worth the early start?
Yes — the twin rock temples of Ramesses II and Nefertari are among Egypt's most impressive sights. Abu Simbel is about 280 km each way, run as a long morning from Aswan — a 45-minute flight, or a 3 to 4-hour road convoy. More on this →
