At Archaeological Paths, the safety of our guests is our utmost priority. It's a core part of our identity, shaping every decision we make and every tour we design. Our dedication to safety is matched by the destination itself—Egypt, a country whose rich history and welcoming spirit are complemented by its status as one of the safest travel destinations worldwide. 

A record-breaking 14.9 million tourists visited Egypt in 2023!

Our confidence in Egypt's safety isn't based on occasional visits; it's forged from constant experience. From September to April each year, we are in Egypt with our guests, sometimes embarking on four or five tours a month. Throughout all these journeys, our impeccable safety record stands as a testament to the secure and welcoming environment we and Egypt offer.

In 2024, this tradition of excellence has continued unabated, with dozens of tours already successfully organized. These tours were not just trips but experiences, cherished and safe, leaving our guests with memories they felt compelled to share. The overwhelmingly positive reviews on TripAdvisor and heartfelt video testimonials across our social media channels bear witness to the joy and security our guests felt, many of whom hail from the United States.

Central to our ability to provide such a secure experience is our collaboration with Egypt's Tourism Police. This partnership is not a mere formality but a dynamic cooperation aimed at ensuring the safety of every trip. The Tourism Police's dedication to the safety of visitors aligns with our mission, allowing us to offer tours that are not just educational and enriching but also secure.

We are proud to announce that the World Travel & Tourism Council has recognized Archaeological Paths for our commitment to safety, awarding us for implementing enhanced health and safety protocols on our tours. This acknowledgment underscores our dedication to providing not only enlightening but also secure travel experiences, ensuring peace of mind for all our guests. It reflects our continuous effort to adhere to the highest standards of health and safety, further cementing our reputation as a trusted leader in the travel industry.

In crafting tours that blend adventure with safety, we go beyond the standard. We curate experiences that invite our guests to immerse themselves in the splendor of Egypt, reassured by the knowledge that their well-being is our foremost concern. This commitment to safety, coupled with Egypt's inherent security and the personal testimonials of our guests, makes each Archaeological Paths tour an invitation to explore with confidence, surrounded by the safeguarding arms of our expertise and care.

In designing our Egypt tours, Archaeological Paths works closely with leading archaeology experts and collaborates directly with Egyptian authorities.

Read the insights of the renowned experts we partner with for our Egypt tours:

Dr. Zahi Hawass, world's most famous archaeologist:

"I want to say to all of you – Egypt is completely safe. Come and see for yourself – you will be in good hands and all the Egyptians will welcome you. The safety of Egypt is visible everywhere. All the archaeological sites and hotels are completely secured.

Thanks to Archaeological Paths I met thousands of people from all over the world who stayed with us for 2 weeks and they had the best time in their life.

And this is why I’m inviting you to visit Egypt with Archaeological Paths and see the wonders of the pharaohs. I’m on these tours,and I will meet you at the sites. I will give exclusive lectures about the discoveries that I made in Egypt over the last 20 years. You’ll see the magic of the pyramids and you will smell the mystery of the Sphinx. These are the visits that you will never forget in your life!"

Dr. Mostafa Waziri, Egypt's Head of Antiquties:

"Egypt is safe and secure and you will see this when you come. You are going to meet a lot of tourists from all over the world. We have Americans, English, French, Germans, Chinese and others. 

You can walk around with your camera and film anywhere you like. You can ask anybody: do you feel Egypt is safe? They will say, definitely – yes, Egypt is safe. We have cameras almost everywhere on the east side and the west side of the Nile. We have security police working 24 hours a day, they are taking good care of the tourists.

I will give you an example: Luxor temple – one of the greatest temples in Egypt, especially by night it looks really amazing. Before we reach Luxor temple, we have to go through an X-Ray archway to make sure that we don’t have any metals. The visitors have to leave everything outside and the security makes sure that they are OK to come inside."



Mohamed Badr, the former governor of Luxor:

"My first comment about safety in Egypt is that it is not an issue. All the sites in Egypt – Luxor, Aswan and Cairo are safe. You can walk all over the streets at any time of the day and night, you can enjoy your life, enjoy your time while over here. People are very hospitable and you will not find any place in the world like Egypt."

Ahmed Hassan, Egyptologist and tour guide:

"Egyptians are known for their hospitality. Kids want to talk to tourists all the time when they are going from one place to the other. Everybody who has been to Egypt felt very safe. We have been to Luxor, Aswan, Cairo, being in downtown Cairo, when it’s really busy, with families out in the streets, the kids going to school. It is safe and you should try to visit now, before it gets really, really busy and it will be easier to enjoy your trip now."

Mohamed Latif, Egyptologist and tour guide:

"A lot of people come from America and from other places and they feel Egypt is more safe than their country. I am so proud that Egypt was always safe. The Egyptians in general love to live in peace and they love to bring peace to the people, especially those who come to visit our country. Wherever you go, wherever you meet people, it’s the same idea. Egypt is safe and it’s amazing to come."

Dr. Mark Lehner, the most famous American Egyptologist:

"I’ve been working here for more than 40 years and I’ve never felt more safe than I have in Egypt. I’ve always felt safe in Egypt. I come from the Boston area, that’s where I live, we had an incident in the Boston marathon. We still run the Boston marathon. We would do nothing but run the Boston marathon. And so here in Egypt, tours continue, tourists are coming, archaeology continues and you should come and share in this experience."
