About Us…

The story of EgypTrails began with the meeting of Alessio and Mohammed during a transfer from Luxor to Hurghada. What was meant to be just a simple journey between two cities soon turned into the start of a genuine friendship. Between stories, laughter, and the discovery of many things in common, a bond was born that went far beyond a holiday.

One of the most unforgettable moments came during a day at Abu Dabbab, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea, swimming among sea turtles and breathtaking natural scenery. It was there that the awareness grew: the desire to live and share the wonders of Egypt even more deeply.

Over time, their shared passion for this country — with its ancient history, stunning landscapes, and the warmth of its people — pushed them to turn that enthusiasm into a real project. This is how EgypTrails was born: not just a tour operator, but a way to experience Egypt with authenticity, passion, and a true love for detail.

Today, Alessio and Mohammed guide travelers not only through Egypt’s most iconic places, but also through hidden gems that reveal the country’s true soul.
