Ciceron Service
Your Ciceron is your constant: a single, trusted guide and representative from arrival to departure. They set context before each visit, read the room, and tune the pace—so every day feels effortless and exactly right for you.
They personally guide you at monuments , museums, and sites. Quietly, they handle everything you shouldn’t have to think about: check-ins and security, tickets and permits, restaurant holds and room preferences, tipping etiquette, photography rules, and last-minute adjustments. Guiding is delivered by your Ciceron—no handoffs to outside specialists except in specialty cases.
Present when you want them, discreet when you don’t, your Ciceron is on call throughout the journey—anticipating needs, smoothing transitions, and making sure Egypt opens for you with grace and privacy.

Cairo
This is Egypt at its most private.
Stay in landmark palaces and the country’s finest hotels. Glide past the crowds with exclusive access to limited tombs and temples. Your dedicated Egyptologist sets the stage, then gives you space—so each site feels like it belongs to you.
Days move at a deliberate, unhurried tempo. Long lunches on shaded terraces, quiet felucca sails at sunset, unhurried gallery time, and evenings that linger. Every transfer is seamless, every detail anticipated, and every moment tailored to your pace.
For travelers who value rarity, privacy, and time—the luxury here isn’t only where you sleep, but how completely Egypt opens for you.
