Who we are
and
What makes us different !
Ancient Egypt Tours is an organization which aims to create beautiful and inspiring tours to Egypt. Tours that bring positive experiences in the lives of our customers.

Ancient Egypt Tours consciously chooses for quality, in our daily lives as well as for our special tours. We choose to operate seperately from the mass tourism market of competition and rivalry by the big tour operators, who bombard the market with cheap tours. Mass tourism groups visit the temples together, and in the shortest possible time, with tourguides trying to outscream each other.

In contrast we visit at times when peace and quietness have returned to the templesites. We choose to offer time and space in order to experience the ancient sacred places quietly and respectfully.  Afterall, Egypt is absolutely unique in our worlds history.
If you, like us, choose for quality, good care and enough time to exlore the valuable cultural heritage of Ancient Egypt, then you have come to the right place.

There are additional important differences.
The normal Egypt tours are accompanied by an egyptologist. These are very well educated people who have a lot of exact knowledge. Unfortunately, this knowlegde has to be poured out during the short visits to the temples.
In contrast, we choose for handing out information about the temples - and also of the Gods and Goddesses - on paper to you the evening before our visit, so that you can prepare yourself in a relaxed way for what the next day will bring. The advantages to you are that while at the temple, you will have lots of time to explore, experience, to make beautiful photos and videos, to meditate, or just simply enjoy the place. If you like, we can help you to get into contact with the energy of the God Form for whom the temple is dedicated, which will be a very special experience.
Because we are traveling in small groups of up to ten people, our price might be a bit higher than that of the average tour operator. Now that you know why, then you can decide what is best for you.

We believe in sharing. Sharing our knowledge like we do on our tours, but also the sharing of wealth. Therefore, part of the proceeds is donated to Brooke's Hospital for Animals. This organization offers free medical care for the animals of the poorest people and educates them how to avoid the often terrible condition of their donkeys and horses.

Our main office is located in The Netherlands. Over a period of more than 10 years we have established a firm relation of businesspartners in Egypt. This enables us to get the best quality at a compatible price, and to be up to date with insiders information.
The team of Ancient Egypt Tours takes every opportunity and great effort to discover, explore and investigate unique, interesting places that can be included in our tours.

Gerda van der Linden (head organizing in The Netherlands) has been organizing and guiding Egypt tours since 1989. Her work, since more than 10 years, in an Egyptian Temple has given her profound knowlegde of the ancient Egyptian civilization and established an intimate relationship with the different Godforms. One of her specializations is to assist with getting into contact with the energy of the God Form that is appealing most to you.
