About Us
Born From a Single Obsession
To design Egyptian journeys so meticulously crafted, so deeply personal, that returning home feels like leaving a second life.
How it began
Founded in Luxor, 2016
Aurion Egypt Tours was born in a small apartment overlooking the Nile in Luxor, where our founder Youssef Al-Rashid realised that the Egypt most visitors experienced was only a shadow of the real thing.
After years guiding private clients through sites that never appear in guidebooks — tombs opened only for royalty, temples at first light with no other souls present — he knew there was a different kind of Egypt waiting to be discovered.
Eight years and over 800 private journeys later, Aurion remains guided by that original conviction: that travel should be transformative, not transactional.
What we stand for
Our Guiding Values
Private by Design
Every journey is built exclusively for you. No groups, no compromises.
Scholarly Depth
Our Egyptologists are among the finest in the world — academics who make history vivid.
Flawless Logistics
Every transfer, permit, and reservation handled invisibly so you never think about the how.
Rare Access
We open doors that remain closed to standard tourists — private site visits, after-hours access, special permits.
Human Connection
We believe the best travel moments happen when local people share their lives with visitors.
Complete Trust
Over 800 journeys and a 100% satisfaction record. Your trust is everything to us.
