Egypt

Emeco Travel

“With the much anticipated GEM opening, interest in Egypt has never been higher. We’ve been searching for a DMC who offers something truly original and goes beyond the usual tours. Emeco honestly blew us away. With fifty years of experience, they create meaningful, genuinely responsible and inspiring itineraries. They’re always innovating, finding new ways to showcase the country as never before and have a wide range of local immersive experiences to connect travellers to the history, culture and communities that make Egypt so very special.”

Egypt

With headquarters in Cairo and regional offices in Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Alexandria, Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada, Emeco Travel knows every corner of Egypt.

Egypt with a twist

Emeco Travel is a family-run DMC who specialise in creating luxury itineraries for FITs and groups. With expert knowledge and well-established, influential partnerships, they can offer unique insider access to Egypt’s most iconic sites, including private, after-hours visits away from the crowds. They excel at creating meaningful and immersive experiences that provide authentic connections with local people. They also deliver a wide range of activities including hiking, biking and kayaking.

Innovation & sustainability

Highly trained in-house guides are supported by qualified experts (e.g., Egyptologists, marine biologists). As they put it, in order to create exceptional experiences, “know who is as important as know how!” A dedicated quality-control team ensures standards remain high. Sustainability is a big part of their ethos: they have achieved Biosphere Committed status, support local NGOs and community projects ensuring local communities benefit from their tours. They also run environmental initiatives.

Since 1976

Founded in 1976 by tourism pioneer Elhamy El Zayat, Emeco Travel has spent nearly five decades helping to redefine how the world experiences Egypt. He even produced Frank Sinatra’s legendary 1979 concert at the Pyramids of Giza and staged the first-ever events at ancient temples! He has built Emeco Travel to become one of Egypt's most well-known and well-respected DMCs.
