Why Kemet Tour
Egypt is complicated. Your trip should not be.
We are a Cairo-based operator running our own guides, drivers and Nile cruise relationships — not a booking site reselling whoever is cheapest that week.
What you actually get
Licensed Egyptologist guides
Every guide holds a Ministry of Tourism licence and a degree in Egyptology or archaeology. You get context, not a script.
Private by default
Your own guide, driver and air-conditioned vehicle. No coach convoys, no waiting for 40 strangers at every stop.
Transparent pricing
One written quote listing entrance fees, transfers, meals and what is not included. No forced shopping stops, ever.
24/7 support in Egypt
A real person on an Egyptian number for the whole trip — flight delays, hotel changes, a late train, a lost bag.
Smart timing
We enter Giza, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings ahead of the crowds and adapt the day around heat and cruise schedules.
Responsible operations
Fair wages for guides and drivers, locally owned hotels where possible, refillable water and no animal-welfare shortcuts.
