Simply, the Best in Egypt


With more than twenty five years of experience in Egypt, Travel House has a guaranteed track record of delivering seamless service from arrival to departure from & to any port or airport in Egypt. We have deep roots and long-established relationships that make it possible to give our guests a degree of access and insight no other operator can match. And while other companies sometimes claim that the independent offices to whom they subcontract their business are “their own offices,” Travel House has its own network of local offices throughout Egypt (and in the States & Europe too), staffed by full-time Travel House experts.

Travel House has the tools, experience and internal network necessary to effectively cut though the red tape to obtain the transit visa. What might otherwise be a time consuming and potentially frustrating process is handled expeditiously. This eliminates the risks resulting from improper documentation such as long waits in lines at immigration or security points or even worse, denial of entry. We can ensure a smooth and swift transit through Travel House professionals and an effective and high quality service during port calls Travellers arrive at their ports with documentation in perfect order.



The World’s Best Tour Directors and Guides


Our standards are the highest in the industry. Travel House guides are impeccable hosts — experienced, well-educated, intelligent professionals who are also charming travelling companions. They specialize in a variety of subjects from archaeology & Egyptology to politics, geography and current affairs. And while other tour companies use guides who take it as a commercial profession, Travel House requires the highest certifications from its guides.



Travel House’s Private Fleet


To guarantee the best service for our guests, Travel House owns, operates and maintains a fleet of buses in Egypt. While other companies lease their vehicles from third parties, with no control over maintenance or passenger amenities, Travel House constantly upgrades its vehicles to incorporate modern safety and design elements that emphasize customer comfort and the best sightlines.




Private Transfers …Any Time


Unlike many of our competitors, Travel House offers its guests private transfers whenever you choose to arrive or depart to or from any port or airport in Egypt. This allows you the flexibility to arrive early or extend your stay in accordance to the ship schedule. Most other tour operators offer to transfer you to and from the port from one specified group ship. But Travel House gives you the comfort, luxury and freedom to plan your trip as you prefer. Any day, any time, day or night as long as you is at any of the Egyptian ports.



A More Personal Touch


With an average of maximum of 24 on our Connoisseurs Series, Travel House groups are small enough to facilitate personal contact among group members, and undivided attention from your Tour Director. These smaller numbers also result in access to quaint restaurants off the beaten track, and discerning hotels that refuse large groups. While other company’s travellers are herded through the streets of Cairo in groups of as many as 40, Travel House guests feel as if they are travelling with a small party of friends.
