Why Travel With Us

A different kind of Egypt travel agency

We're not a call-center. We're a small, family-run team who lives and breathes Egypt — with a US office in the Hudson Valley and a permanent ground team in Cairo.

🏛 Private, not packaged

Every itinerary is written by hand for you. No cattle-buses, no fixed departures — just the pace and depth you actually want.

🎓 Egyptologist guides

All our lead guides hold accredited Egyptology degrees and speak fluent English. History becomes vivid, not memorized.

🇺🇸 US-based support

Book with a licensed New York agency. When you call 518-678-8448, a real human — not a bot — picks up.

💎 Handpicked hotels

We only work with properties we've personally inspected — from Nile-view boutique hotels to five-star Old Cataract suites.

🕊 Flexible cancellation

Life happens. Every trip includes our transparent 14-day cancellation window and travel-insurance guidance.

💰 Honest pricing

All-in quotes, no hidden extras. What you see in your itinerary is exactly what you pay — including tips and taxes.

Traveler stories

What our guests say

Our two weeks in Egypt were flawless. James built the trip around our teenagers' interests — Karnak at night was the moment my son said "OK, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen."

We've traveled with big-name agencies before. Havana Travel Egypt was a completely different level — the dahabiya cruise was intimate, quiet and the food was extraordinary. Worth every dollar.

Booked our honeymoon here. From the airport pickup to the private dinner at the pyramids, everything ran on time and felt personal. Cannot recommend more highly.

Meet the founder

Hi, I'm James.

I founded Havana Travel Egypt in 2011 after my third trip down the Nile. I was tired of watching visitors rush through the greatest civilization in human history in air-conditioned buses, on 90-minute museum stops. Egypt deserves better — and so do you.

Today our small team in Palenville, NY and Cairo, Egypt hosts around 400 travelers a year. We stay small on purpose. When you book with us, I personally read your inquiry, and one of three trip designers will build your itinerary from a blank page.
