Highlights: In June 1979 our company first began to set the ground arrangements for incoming group and individual tours.   Initially, we dealt exclusively with American, German, British, Swiss, and Japanese groups. This gave us the experience not only in making detailed and complex arrangements, but also in striving to achieve a high standard in all aspects of tour operating. To maintain this high standard, we have ensured that the training aims and needs of our company are properly identified and achieved.

Meanwhile, we have special agreements and contracts with almost all the hotels, beach resorts, Nile cruise operators, and numerous restaurants throughout Egypt.
