We are a group of long-time friends with extensive experience across various sectors of the Egyptian tourism industry. In 2012, in response to the challenges facing Egypt’s tourism landscape—such as limited access to reliable travel information and the inability of conventional tours to offer a truly authentic experience—we decided to come together and form a team. And thus, Horus Eye Egypt was born.

Our team members have over 15 years of extensive experience in the Egyptian tourism industry. Leveraging our well-established network and expertise, we provide comprehensive travel information, itinerary planning, and booking services across various aspects of travel in Egypt — including licensed guides, transportation tickets, accommodations, activities, and more.

During the tours in Egypt, we also provide 24-hour customer support just like your friend in Egypt to assist with any issues that may arise throughout the journey.

Our goal is to improve the travel experience in Egypt by offering a safe, transparent, and fairly priced environment for all travelers. We believe Egypt is a truly remarkable country—its beauty lies not only in its ancient monuments and landscapes but also in the kindness and sincerity of its people. The genuine warmth of Egyptian hospitality, deeply rooted in Islamic culture, is what makes this destination truly unforgettable.

We are committed to making Egypt accessible through fairly priced travel experiences, helping travelers avoid common concerns such as scams, logistical challenges, or language barriers. With a reliable and thoughtfully planned journey, visitors can fully immerse themselves in the wonders of Egypt without unnecessary stress or frustration. At the same time, we ensure that local service providers receive fair compensation for their hard work—avoiding exploitation and supporting the local economy.

By offering a semi-independent travel model, we aim to create opportunities for meaningful cultural interaction. Travelers can engage more authentically with local communities. This approach allows for a deeper, more rewarding travel experience filled with genuine connection and unforgettable memories.

"Semi-guided tours" differ significantly from traditional group tours. Our role is closer to that of a travel coordinator, assisting with bookings. As such, travelers are expected to possess a certain level of independence and prior travel experience. 

Given the significant cultural differences in Egypt, this style of travel may not be suitable for everyone.

Please do not assume a hands-off experience when joining a semi-guided tour. We sincerely ask that each traveler carefully consider whether this travel style aligns with their needs and expectations.

The following are types of individuals who may not be suitable for Horus Eye. If you find that you might not fit our approach, it’s recommended to seek assistance through other channels that might be more suitable for you.

• Those who expect to be treated like royalty simply by spending money.

• Those who prefer a fully guided experience just like joining a traditional group tour.

• Rude individuals.

• Those who take everything for granted.

• Individuals who cannot accept Egyptian culture (including the tipping culture).

• Those who always blame others for any issues.

• Individuals who cannot accept any changes to plans.

• People with no ability to adapt to unexpected situations.

• Those who are overly suspicious (A smooth, enjoyable journey requires mutual respect, trust, and cooperation between the traveler and us. If travelers cannot fully trust the assistance we provide and tend to question everything, we won’t be able to offer effective support. We recommend choosing a travel provider or method that you trust, ensuring a more comfortable experience).

• Those who do not enjoy doing research (The advantage of our semi-guided tour approach is that we can provide information. If you really don’t have time to research on your own, feel free to ask us anytime and we are always very happy and willing to help. However, please note that doing your own research is still a responsibility of semi-guided travel. We are happy to answer polite inquiries, but we are not obligated to act as caregivers and remind you of every details ahead.)

To have a smooth and enjoyable journey, the most important factor, aside from the assistance we provide, is the cooperation and trust from our travelers. If the attitude during the trip is "hands off, it's your responsibility to handle everything!" and the traveler is unwilling to take responsibility or constantly questions our assistance, then we may not be able to help resolve any issues well.

Additionally, we prioritize the quality of both the itinerary and our services, and we take full responsibility for our trips. Therefore, if you are solely focused on finding the lowest price, without regard for the quality of the trip, and are willing to accept that no one will be there to assist or take responsibility if any issues arise, we regret to inform you that we may not be the right fit for you. We kindly suggest seeking other avenues for assistance.

The cost of the itinerary is entirely dependent on the number of participants and the specifics of the trip, including the duration, accommodation level, transportation options. This is one of the advantages of a customized itinerary, as it allows you to freely determine your budget.

Therefore, the cost will vary depending on the details of the itinerary. Even for the same itinerary, changes in the number of participants or accommodation level will affect the pricing. The final cost can only be determined after the itinerary details have been arranged and confirmed.
