The Egyptian government always does not save any effort to enhance and improve the security measures in the country.

The tourism officials in Egypt has ensured that crucial steps to improve security measures at the airports and the historic & touristic sites in the country are being implemented and that Egypt is safe.

We understand very well how the Social and TV Media impact the Reviews of the People, especially if it is your first time travelling to Egypt. as the political instability that Egypt has experienced since 2011 has affected the number of tourists coming to the country, but it has not affected tourism sites much.

 Those that visited Egypt in 2019 consistently comment on the difference between what they expected, based on what they watch on the news and what they have experienced during their trip.

Our staff use up to date information to make sure that our clients are never in a situation that could be potentially dangerous or even cause them anxiety.

Moreover we need to  clarify what is our Role in this Important Part !, that we are on direct contact with the force protection channel ( Tourism Police ) , how that can be proceeded ?, once we confirm with the client/s the final agreed itinerary, 2 days prior the arrival of the client/s , we send the client’s detailed itinerary ( day by day basis )to these channel, and the assigned people of the tourism police reviews the daily itinerary and they make sure that all mentioned destinations on the itinerary that any foreigner individual will travel to is fully protected through their relevant security channels , also they send an official acceptance on the itinerary , once the client/s begin their first day program , there will be one of their security Guard /personnel accompanying the tour at any tourist site, and another higher measures are taken for the groups with their specialized Guards and Jeeps.

In case any destination was found to be out of a secured limited zone, we receive by email and through an assigned employee an announcement to avoid promoting it though our Travel Packages or replace it if needed.

At any tourism site you will find police officers with a special badge on their shoulders that says, “Tourism Police”. These officers are designated specifically to make sure that visitors in Egypt are safe, and as a convenience to the tourists, they are more likely than other police personnel to speak English.
