About Nourbelle Tours: Licensed Egypt Tour Operator & DMC in Luxor
Most Egypt tour websites are resellers. We hold our own tourism licence, employ our guides, own our vehicles and operate our own dahabiya from Esna. Everything on this page is verifiable — and we would rather show documents than adjectives.
A destination management company, run by the people who guide
Nourbelle Tours is a Destination Management Company based in Luxor, on the Corniche, accredited by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and a member of the Egyptian Travel Agents Association (ETAA), the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) and IATA. We build tailor-made Egypt itineraries and run them ourselves: our own Egyptologists, our own vehicles, cabins we contract directly on the Nile, and our own dahabiya.
The rules have not changed since the first season: one guide from the airport meet to the departure gate; sites at opening time with the tickets already bought; the price you see is the price you pay; and a named person on the phone, not a call centre. From that base we added combined routes into Jordan, Dubai and Istanbul with partner operators — one Nourbelle contract, one planner, one support line.
What we are
Ministry of Tourism accredited · ETAA · ATTA · IATA · head office Luxor, Corniche El Nil · desks in Cairo and Aswan.
What we are not
Not a marketplace, not a reseller, not a call centre. The person who answers WhatsApp at 23:00 is on our payroll and knows your file.
What we are here to do
Run Egypt journeys the way we would want to be hosted
To plan and operate tailor-made journeys through Egypt and its neighbours with our own licensed Egyptologists, our own vehicles and our own dahabiya — so that every guest sees the sites at the right hour, pays the price they were shown, and always has a named person to call. We measure ourselves on the day itself, not the brochure.
The operator travellers name when they say "book it direct"
To be the Egypt destination management company that travellers and travel agents worldwide trust first — recognised for verifiable standards, guides who stay with you, and journeys that link the Nile to Petra, Dubai and Istanbul under one contract. Growth measured by returning guests and named guides, not by volume.

Six promises we do not bend
What guests say about Nourbelle
Pulled live from Tripadvisor, filtered to the company.
Mahmoud met us at 6am at Cairo airport holding a sign with our names, and that set the tone.
No surprise fees. The shorter site days on the family route made the difference.
Not handed over in every city. Dr Nour flew with us to Aswan and sailed on the cruise.
