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 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.
