Category A License Registration
Respect Tours is registered as a Category A travel company, the principal classification for Egyptian travel agencies organising and managing tourism services.
"Whether you are booking a private day tour in Cairo, a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, or a complete journey across Egypt, your arrangements are handled by an established local travel company."
Booking with a licensed Egyptian tour operator gives you an important layer of confidence before you travel.
A licensed company has an official business identity that can be checked through recognised Egyptian tourism industry records. Travellers can verify Respect Tours by name and licence number rather than relying only on advertisements or social media profiles.
Licensed tour companies operate within Egypt's regulated tourism sector. This means the company is professionally accountable for the travel services it arranges and the information it provides to its guests.
Respect Tours has operated from Egypt since 1978. Our local team understands the practical details that affect a journey, from transportation and attraction schedules to hotel coordination and unexpected itinerary changes.
Our tours are led by professional local guides, including licensed Egyptologists who help travellers understand the history, culture and meaning behind Egypt's archaeological sites.
A successful Egypt holiday involves much more than choosing attractions. Transfers, guides, entrance times, accommodation, cruises and domestic connections must work together. Our team coordinates these arrangements so travellers can focus on experiencing Egypt.
When you book with Respect Tours, you have a team based in Egypt that can assist you before and during your journey. This is especially valuable when schedules change or you need immediate support on the ground.
Respect Tours was established in Cairo in 1978, making us one of Egypt's long-standing tour operators. Over the decades, travel has changed significantly, but our responsibility has remained the same: to help every guest experience Egypt with professionalism, honesty and genuine local knowledge.

Great service, professional staff, quick response, and very comfortable vehicles I would like to sincerely thank the entire team for the excellent service and professional treatment throughout my experience with them. I truly appreciated the high quality of the service, the excellent condition of the vehicles, and most importantly, the quick response and the professionalism of your staff during the service. Thank you all for your great support and for making the experience smooth and pleasant. I highly appreciate your efforts and look forward to using your service again in the future. One small suggestion would be to keep the prices a little more reasonable and competitive. 😊 Thank you once again and keep up the great work!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Best travel agency This review is a true evidence to the great experience and happiness I had with this company. Honestly I've never dealt with people like the team at Respect Tours. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming especially Mr. David Asaad who is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. He is very kind easy to get along with and has a big heart. His professionalism was outstanding and he is also a great leader with confidence and knowledge I would also like to give a special thanks to our driver Mohsen. He was very friendly helpful and professional throughout our trips and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. I truly thank the wonderful Respect Tours team and wish them continued success and all the best.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
