For tour operators, travel agencies, OTAs and MICE planners.

What a destination management company in Egypt actually does.

A DMC executes programmes designed by tour operators, travel agencies, OTAs and MICE planners. We are the licensed operational layer between your brand promise and what your client experiences on the ground in Egypt.

As a Class A licensed DMC in Egypt, Discovery Tours Egypt manages the operational chain: airport transfers, domestic flights, Nile cruises, Egyptologist guides, vehicle logistics, hotel allotments, site access permits and contingency management.

Operating as a B2B Egypt DMC since 1988 across Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea (including Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh), we base our reputation on consistent execution, direct communication and local knowledge derived from nearly four decades in-market.

For scheduled series, tailored bookings, OTA volumes or MICE incentives, our destination management services are designed to reduce operational risk and protect your brand in Egypt.

Three ways to connect. All three are ours to support.

Our own Trade REST API and partners portal run on one system. TraviSYS is a separate, equal connectivity route. Pick the one your team already works in.

  1. Partners portal

    Log in, search, price and request Egypt services with your own trade rates. The portal is connected to our own system, so prices, availability and bookings are live from the source and nothing is re-keyed.

    Open the portal

  2. Trade REST API

    Live net prices and booking requests from our own system, built by Discovery Tours Egypt. It covers cruises, tours, excursions, transfers and hotels, and gives each approved agency its own price.

    See the API

  3. TraviSYS connectivity

    A separate connectivity route for partners who distribute through TraviSYS, with Bokun support for compatible workflows, onboarding and testing support, and operations on the ground.

Quick answers for trade buyers.

What is a DMC in Egypt?

A DMC in Egypt is a licensed ground operator that handles local delivery for travel businesses — transfers, tours, logistics, supplier coordination, and on-site support — on behalf of tour operators, agencies, OTAs and MICE planners.

Why choose Discovery Tours Egypt as your Egypt DMC?

Licensed since 1988 under ETAA licence 718 (Category A) and IATA accredited (90255546). Offices and teams in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea. Programmes also run in Alexandria. Structured QA, transparent net rates and a single point of accountability.

How do you choose the best DMC in Egypt?

Check what you can verify rather than what a DMC claims: an ETAA licence you can look up on the ETAA registry (ours is 718, Category A), IATA accreditation, years operating, its own offices in the regions you sell, written net rates, a named contact for each booking, and how it supports your systems (portal, API or TraviSYS). Ask for its compliance pack before you contract.

Which B2B services are available?

Transfers and transportation, classic tours and excursions, Nile cruise coordination, Red Sea programmes, cruise shore excursions, and MICE delivery — with TraviSYS-priority and Bokun integration support for connected partners.

How quickly do you quote net rates?

Quotes are returned in 24–48 hours. Agencies with trade access can also price and request services directly in the partners portal or through our trade REST API.

Can we connect by API?

Yes. Our own trade REST API gives live net prices and booking requests from our system for cruises, tours, excursions, transfers and hotels, with a price per approved agency. Partners who distribute through TraviSYS can connect that way instead.

Which regions of Egypt do you cover?

We have offices and teams in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and on the Red Sea coast. Programmes run across Cairo and Giza, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel, the Red Sea (Hurghada, El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Marsa Alam, Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab), the White Desert and the Mediterranean city of Alexandria.
