"Fantastic country, wonderful food, exceptional diving, beautiful weather - truly a holiday of a lifetime. From the easy to navigate website to the excellent customer service and helpful, friendly tour reps, the trip was well organised from start to finish. The tour guide (Ahmed) was outstanding and made the Egyptian history fun and informative. The whole trip - WOW!"

TOUR TYPE
We have three types of tour available to our clients - Small Group, Private and Tailor-made. Each of these is described in more detail below.
On the majority of our tours we run a number of group departures on set dates throughout the year. In order to provide the most personal service, and to make sure that you get as much out of our tours as possible, we like to keep our groups small. We therefore set the maximum number at 12-18 and the minimum at 2-4 people. We also provide fully trained, English-speaking Egyptologists to act as your tour guide and leader.
Tour leaders/guides
Our policy at Egypt Uncovered is to use only local guides and tour leaders, as we feel that this not only contributes to the local economy but also provides you with the best local knowledge available. Local guides can almost invariably give more information and bring a country, its history, culture and nature alive much more than non-native guides. All our guides are fully trained Egyptologists, have a high level of English, and are experienced in dealing with western clients. We select our guides carefully, and many have been working with us for several years. Our clients often describe their tour guide as being one of the highlights of their holiday.
PRIVATE TOUR
Many of our set group tour itineraries are also available to be run as private departures. These are most suited to couples, groups of friends, and families who do not want to travel with larger groups, or for those who cannot find a convenient group departure date.
Our private departures can also be tailor-made to better suit your needs, please see below. The added expense of this more personal service usually incurs a small extra charge, the amount extra depending on the season in which you wish to travel.
Our current tours are aimed at groups, families & active travellers. They can be extended or shortened to suit your travel requirements.
If you are unable to find the perfect tour for you on our website, or if our group tours don’t leave on a convenient date, then why not let our dedicated sales staff help. With years of experience in organising itineraries they can adjust and design tours to suit your specific dates and needs. They will even help organise your flights and insurance.
For some initial ideas of what we can arrange for you, why not start by taking a look at our set tours, and our options page (see link in left hand menu), which outlines various tour extensions and other possibilities.
Groups
We often work with large groups, including schools, dive clubs and societies, so if you are an organisation, business or society looking for a tailor-made tour, please contact us and our staff will be happy to help.
