At Emo Tours Egypt, our mission since 2009 has been to deliver safe, transparent, and fully licensed travel experiences across Egypt.
Recently, we have identified a growing trend that requires public awareness:

🚨 The Rise of Unlicensed Tour Websites
Some individuals — including former or current employees of licensed travel companies — are creating hidden or independent websites offering tour services without holding a valid tourism license from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism or registration with ETAA.
While experience can be learned, licensing cannot be improvised.
Operating tourism services in Egypt without a license is illegal, exposes travelers to serious risks, and undermines the quality and reputation of Egypt’s tourism industry.
❗ Why This Is a Risk for Travelers
Booking with unlicensed entities may result in:
No insurance coverage No legal accountability No consumer protection Unqualified guides or drivers Unsafe transportation No authority to intervene if problems arise
A professional website or social media page does not equal legitimacy.
✅ How to Protect Yourself
Before booking any tour in Egypt, always:
Verify the company’s tourism license Through the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism Or via ETAA (Egyptian Travel Agents Association)
Ask for official company details such as
License number
Physical office address
Be cautious of individuals or websites Operating from home
Using personal bank accounts
Avoiding official documentation
