For The Trade · Agents & Operators
The Egypt DMC your clients never see.
Egypt Discovery is the UK face of Discovery Tours Egypt — a Class-A destination management company (DMC) in Egypt that has run inbound ground services for agents, operators and MICE buyers since 1988. A fair few Egypt holidays sold under other names travel on our transfers, our guides and our cruise allocations. If you're in the trade, you'd work with our B2B desk directly, not through this consumer site.

On The Ground
What a destination management company in Egypt looks after.
Transfers & meet-and-assist
Our own fleet and trusted drivers across Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm El Sheikh — from a nameboard at arrivals to VIP fast-track and long road legs.
Licensed Egyptologist guides
Guides on our own payroll, most with twenty years or more at the same temples. Not a pool of freelancers swapped in the week your clients fly.
Nile cruises & dahabiyas
Allocation and contracting across standard, deluxe and ultra-deluxe ships, small-boat dahabiyas and Lake Nasser sailings — all at trade rates.
Hotels, groups & events
Contracted rooming, group blocks, incentive programmes, conferences and one-off events, organised by a dedicated MICE desk.
Red Sea resort handling
Weekly arrivals looked after across Sharm, Hurghada, Marsa Alam, El Gouna, Makadi, Soma Bay and Sahl Hasheesh for operator series.
24-hour operations desk in Egypt
A real desk on the ground, an hour or two ahead of your office, sorting whatever comes up the same day — not a ticket parked until tomorrow.
Why The Trade Comes Straight To Us
An Egypt DMC that runs the trip, rather than passing it on.
- We run it ourselves — or hand it to a partner we've known for years
- Most of the transfers, guides and cruise allocations are our own. Where we do bring someone in, it's an operator we've worked alongside for years and hold to the same standard — never an unknown subcontractor chosen on price. A good few of the names ranking for “Egypt DMC” are directories or incentive brokers quietly farming the work out; we either do it ourselves or vouch for whoever does.
- Since 1988, still family-run
- A destination management company in Egypt for thirty-eight years, with no holding company sitting in between. The people who price your programme are the people who deliver it.
- Class-A licensed and accredited
- Egyptian Ministry of Tourism Class-A licence, Egyptian Travel Agents Association member (ETAA #718), and IATA accreditation (#90255546) — a contract you can hold us to, not a marketplace disclaimer.
- Six offices, one operator
- Cairo head office plus Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm El Sheikh, so the whole country runs through one operations team.
How It Works
Five steps from first email to ground delivery.
Step 1
Register at dmcegypt.com
Tell us your market, typical group size and what you sell — leisure, MICE, or a mix of both.
Step 2
Sample itinerary & trade rates
Our trade desk puts together a real sample series against your dates, not a generic rate card, so you can cost it to your client before committing to anything.
Step 3
Contracting
Standard trade terms, allotment or on-request depending on volume, invoiced in your preferred currency where we can.
Step 4
Ground delivery
The same team that quoted the series runs it — transfers, guiding, cruise allocation, hotel rooming — coordinated from our six offices.
Step 5
24-hour operations desk
One point of contact in-country for the whole trip, rather than a different supplier to chase for each piece.
"Reliable on the ground. Built for long-term partnerships."

Trade Questions
What agents and operators usually ask.
Is Egypt Discovery a DMC?
Egypt Discovery is the UK-facing brand of Discovery Tours Egypt, a Class-A destination management company (DMC) in Egypt licensed by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, a member of the Egyptian Travel Agents Association (ETAA #718), and IATA-accredited (#90255546), running inbound ground services since 1988. The trade contracts with our B2B desk at dmcegypt.com.
What does an Egypt DMC actually do for agents and operators?
A destination management company in Egypt handles everything on the ground for overseas agents and operators — transfers, licensed guiding, Nile cruise and hotel allocation, groups and events, and a 24-hour operations desk — all at trade rates, so the selling agent keeps the margin.
How do agents get trade rates and set up a partnership?
Trade pricing, contracting and agent sign-up are handled by our B2B site, dmcegypt.com. Register there and the trade desk comes back with rates, sample series pricing and terms — kept separate from our consumer holidays.
Which parts of Egypt does the DMC cover?
The whole country, run from six offices — Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Marsa Alam and Sharm El Sheikh — taking in the Nile Valley, Abu Simbel and Lake Nasser, Alexandria and the full Red Sea coast for weekly operator arrivals.
What group sizes and MICE volumes can you take on?
Our own fleet runs 58+ vehicles with 5,000+ seats between them, and we contract 15,000+ hotel rooms and Nile cruise cabins across Egypt, so a small incentive group and a multi-coach conference series scale on the same operation. The MICE desk quotes both, and the same team delivers on the ground.
How quickly can you turn around a weekly arrivals series?
Weekly Red Sea and Nile Valley series are a regular part of what we run, not a one-off ask — most operator programmes are contracted and confirmed within a normal trade cycle once a sample itinerary and dates come through.
