Travel Egypt Through an African Lens
Built for Black Travelers
Black Egypt Tours is an Egypt-based travel company created for African American and Black travelers from across the diaspora. We plan private and small-group trips for families, friends, church and alumni groups, couples, and solo travelers who want to experience Egypt as an African story: Kemet, the Nubian kingdoms, and the Nile that connects them to the rest of the continent.
Our guides are licensed, English-speaking Egyptologists. We hand-pick hotels and Nile cruises, meet you at the airport, and stay reachable 24/7 on WhatsApp throughout your trip, so all you have to do is enjoy it.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Most U.S. passport holders can get an Egypt e-Visa online before departure or buy a visa on arrival at Cairo International Airport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date. We send up-to-date visa instructions to every guest after booking.
No. Your guide will be a professional, English-speaking Egyptologist, and English is widely spoken in hotels, on cruise ships, and in the main tourist areas. A few words like “shukran” (thank you) are always appreciated.
A Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan is the most relaxed way to see Upper Egypt. You unpack once, sail past villages and farmland, and stop at temples like Edfu and Kom Ombo along the way, on the same river route that linked Egypt and Nubia for thousands of years.
Photography is allowed at most sites and museums. Some tombs and special areas charge an extra photo fee or do not allow photos at all. Your guide will explain the rules at each stop.
Millions of visitors travel to Egypt every year, and the main tourist areas are well protected. We arrange private transfers, licensed guides, and trusted hotels, and our team is reachable 24/7 on WhatsApp throughout your trip. We also recommend checking the U.S. State Department travel advisory before you go.
We focus on Black travelers. Our itineraries highlight Egypt’s African roots and Nubian heritage, our guides are experienced Egyptologists, and we handle everything: airport pickup, hotels, cruises, and entry tickets.
